I don’t know about you, but I am so excited its Christmas! Anybody else jump on the bandwagon and start decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving? I used to religiously wait until after Thanksgiving, but I’ve decided all of November and December should be for celebrating Christmas 😉 After all, we should be thankful all year long!
So I thought it would be super fun to do a Christmas resource roundup to help you focus on Jesus and have fun this season! I tried to keep it simple and only share the best of the best. I’m sure there is something for everyone in this post, so I hope you enjoy scrolling through and checking it all out!

Christmas Resource Roundup
Advent Studies
Every year, I like to read the book The Greatest Gift: Unwrapping the Full Love Story of Christmas by Ann Voskamp. In the days leading up to Christmas, it shares how the love story of Christmas is intertwined in the whole Bible. And Ann’s writing is so beautiful! I highly recommend.
Also, Jenny’s Little Bible Plan is always amazing! This year, there are journaling prompts as you study through Luke. You can find it here!
Gift Guides
Gift guides are always so helpful in picking out the perfect gift for everyone on your list! I hope these give you some great ideas.
My friend Tara made multiple gift guides that are full of great ideas! I’ll link them below.
Another one of my friends, Brittney, compiled a guide full of ideas for anyone you need to buy for this year: Holiday Gift Guides 2019.
Also, my friend Sasha is working on some amazing gift guides! At the time of this posting, she has only published the “Ultimate Gift Guide For Him,” but I highly encourage you check her blog to make sure she hasn’t added more.
Christmas Playlist
I wanted to share my Christmas playlist with you all! I’m sure I’ll add more songs as the season goes on, but right now there are some classics + some new songs from various artists!
Festive Wallpapers
I love to update my laptop with festive wallpapers! Here are a few that I thought were super cute!

Printed Holiday Cards
Last but not least, unique Christmas cards and corporate Christmas cards! My family and I send out Christmas cards every year and I LOVE picking out the design! When Basic Invite reached out to me and asked if I’d like to collaborate, I looked through their website and was impressed by all of the options (there are over 500 Christmas and holiday card designs!). They’re also reasonably priced! Here are some unique aspects of Basic Invites:
