Advent and Christmas are special times for Christians to celebrate Jesus and the gift He brought to the world.
Advent: A Time of Waiting
Advent means “arrival” and is the four weeks before Christmas when we prepare to celebrate Jesus’ birth. Many families light Advent candles that remind us of hope, peace, joy, and love—things Jesus brought to the world.
Christmas: Celebrating Jesus’ Birth
Christmas is when we celebrate Jesus being born in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago. The story of Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the Magi reminds us of God’s gift to the world. We give presents because Jesus is the greatest gift of all.
Christmas Is for Everyone
Jesus came to bring love and peace to everyone. Whether or not you follow Christian traditions, the message of kindness, giving, and joy is for the whole world. Christmas is all about Jesus—the best gift ever given!
