Advent and Christmas are for many people the most joyous time of year, a special opportunity for celebration, sharing, and family gatherings. More importantly, however, Advent is the season of preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ into the world, and Christmas is the celebration of His birth to the manifestation of the Word-Made-Flesh among us.

This reader-friendly companion provides everything Catholics need for a richer experience of the Advent and Christmas seasons. Whether readers wish to follow a traditional, contemporary, or family program of devotion and prayer for Advent and Christmas, this all-in-one resource will be a treasured guidebook.

Morning and evening prayer services
A short history of Advent
The preparatory nature of Advent
Traditional hymns and symbols of Christmas
Traditional Christmas practices
A Christmas novena
Daily Christmas meditations

This is the first year that my family really integrated Advent into our Christmas celebration, and what a difference it made!
