5 Excellent, Free Christ-Centered Advent Resources for Your Family

Are you looking for Christ-centered Advent resources to prepare your family for Christmas this year?

Raised Church of Christ, I didn’t even know what Advent was until I was in high school and learned from friends in “high church” denominations. (If only I had A Beginner’s Guide to Observing Advent from Her View From Home back then.)

Twenty years later, I now embrace the beauty of anticipating Christ’s birth through Advent with my Catholic-raised husband and our daughters each December. We especially love praying and lighting Advent candles together before dinner each night.

Here are my top five favorite, free Christ-centered Advent resources to help you celebrate with your family this holiday season:
