Christmas can feel busy, overwhelming, and full of mixed messages — especially as Christian moms trying to keep Christ at the center of our homes. In this special Christmas episode of Building Yourself with Grace, I share why I still believe in Santa Claus — not as a distraction from Jesus Christ, but as a beautiful symbol that points our hearts back to Him. You’ll hear a heartfelt reading from the beloved children’s book I Believe in Santa Claus by Diane G. Adamson, a reflection on the deeper meaning behind common Christmas symbols, and a poem I wrote called The Reason for the Season. Together, we’ll talk about how traditions like Santa, wreaths, candles, gifts, and even candy canes can become intentional tools to teach our children about: Christlike love Giving and generosity The Light of the World Eternal life and hope Peace in the middle of the holiday rush This episode is an invitation to slow down, shift perspective, and rediscover how Christmas traditions — when taught with intention — can lead our families closer to Christ, not further away. Whether you’re feeling joyful, stretched thin, or somewhere in between, this message is a reminder that Jesus Christ is the reason for the season, and His light can be found in the small, meaningful moments we create at home.🎄✨
