Making Room for Jesus in the Middle of a Busy Christmas: 25 Days of Christmas Devotional

It can also be a lot.

There are gifts to buy, meals to plan, traditions to keep, school programs to attend, calendars to coordinate, and approximately 47 things someone needs you to remember at any given moment.

And somewhere in the middle of all of it, we want Christmas to be about Jesus.

But sometimes the season celebrating His birth can become one of the hardest times to actually slow down and spend time with Him.

What if this year, instead of adding one more complicated thing to your Christmas list, you simply made a little room?

A Few Minutes a Day With Jesus

25 Days of Christmas is a devotional journey with Jesse Bradley designed to help you step away from the noise for a few minutes each day and refocus your heart on Jesus.

Each day will be simple:

Read Scripture.
Watch or listen to a short teaching.
Reflect on one question.
Pray.

That’s it.

You don’t need a perfectly quiet house. You don’t need an hour-long morning routine, a beautifully organized prayer journal, or kids who suddenly decide not to interrupt you.

You just need a few intentional minutes.

Maybe it’s before everyone wakes up.

Maybe it’s during school pickup.

Maybe you listen while folding laundry or watch after the kids go to bed.

Maybe you gather everyone together and make it something you do as a family.

The goal isn’t to create one more thing you have to accomplish before Christmas. It’s to create a little space to receive from God in the middle of everything you’re already carrying.

Do It Alone or Invite Someone In

You can walk through all 25 days on your own, but you don’t have to.

Invite your spouse. Text a friend. Send it to your small group. Let your older kids join you. Or find another mom and decide that you’re going to take a few minutes each day to refocus on Jesus together.

And don’t worry if you miss a day.

This isn’t a Christmas countdown you can fail.

Start with Day One whenever you’re ready and move through the journey at your own pace.

Because maybe one of the best gifts we can give ourselves and our families this Christmas isn’t another perfectly planned tradition.

Maybe it’s a mom whose heart has had a few quiet moments to remember:

Jesus is here. God is faithful. And we don’t have to rush past Him.

Are you in?
