Christmas can move fast. Gifts. Events. Programs. Plans. In the middle of everything, families often miss quiet moments with God. A Christmas devotional helps slow the pace. It brings families together. It reminds everyone what Christmas is about.

These short devotionals are simple. You can read them around the dinner table, before bed, or during quiet moments. Each one includes a verse, a thought, and a question your family can talk about.

Let these reflections bring peace, connection, and Christ into your home this season.
