From time to time I thought it would be fun to pass along lists of resources I've benefited from on various topics. Today's topic is: Christmas!

Preparing for the Holidays:

If you missed them, you might want to check out my series on preparing early for Christmas! While we're definitely long past the "early" mark, I've organized all of the prep steps you need to take for a stress-free holiday into small baby steps, so it might still be helpful! 

31 Ways to Earn Extra Cash Before Christmas @ Money Saving Mom. Excellent series on adding to your gift budget, could be used year round for families in need of a little extra cash.

10 Days to Finding the Perfect Gift @ Creative Savings Blog. Lot's of great ideas for all of the different people in your life!

For a Christ-Centered Christmas:

Our Advent Tree @ Desiring Virtue. A lovely way to "redeem" your Christmas tree, making it not only a nostalgic family tradition, but a meaningful and Christ-centered one. Really, all of Jessalyn's posts on Advent are beautiful, meaningful, insightful and practical. Highly recommended!

Practical Ways to Reach Out to Others During the Holidays @ Passionate Homemaking. Great inroads for sharing Christ with the lost at Christmas.


I can't say I've read many books on or about Christmas, so I feel like there are gaping holes in this post! What books and resources have you enjoyed as you prepare for Christmas?
