catholic Christmas

I come from a Catholic family. When holidays come around, we have special traditions that we participate in together. Some people may not know about them or why we do them. So, I thought I would explain some of them. #advent #epiphany #lasposadas #catholic #midnightmass #christmas

For Catholics, the Christmas season begins with Christmas midnight mass and not until January 6 from the feast of the Nativity until Epiphany

Having a young family, there are so many cool traditions we want to implement this year as a Catholic family during Christmas. #catholic #christ #jesus #birthday #traditions

This blog post will detail a little bit about what I do for Advent and Christmas to make sure they are both holy and smooth sailing. I get started planning for Advent and Christmas somewhere between the middle of October to beginning of November. I started doing this about 5 or 6 years ago and it has been such a game changer to be prepared ahead of time! When I am prepared, I have a much more focused and holy Advent and Christmas!

This time of year is full of many wonderful traditions. I want to create Advent traditions in the Catholic home.

Advent is such a beautiful time to prepare for the coming of Jesus. But having children and getting to share these traditions and teachable moments with them during Advent is so fun. Here are seven of my family’s favorite and new Advent traditions to live liturgically!
