Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo 3902 Create Space for Christmas in the Chaos
You don't have to create a Pinterest-perfect Christmas to do that. What matters most is carving out space—not just on the calendar, but in your family's heart and home—for the real gift of Christmas.

That could look like lighting a candle each evening and reading one simple Bible verse about Jesus' birth. Or maybe it's slowing down long enough for a bedtime conversation that catches your child's curiosity.
When you make room, even though there was no room in the inn, there are lots of possibilities beyond what you think must happen to be THE Christmas.
What good news are you sharing with your family?
What can you do to create that Christmas space in your home?
Think small, just like a little baby born in a manger!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Think small!Here are three simple ways to start:
- Build a Little Ritual: Each night, read one verse or a tiny story about Jesus' birth. Keep it short and sweet—it only takes a few minutes, but plants seeds that grow.
- Practice Kindness Together: Ask your kids to pick one act of kindness each week. It could be as simple as helping a neighbor or sharing a toy. The goal is to live the Christmas spirit out loud.
- Set Family Intention: Have everyone write or draw their "Christmas wishes" for attitudes they want more of—things like patience, generosity, or love. Keep it visible as a gentle reminder.
Remember, you're not aiming for perfection or a scripted "moment." Champions of Christmas are made out of presence and grace—the willingness to slow down just enough to show up fully, even through the messy parts.
So when the whirlwind hits, and it will, know that the real gift isn't wrapped in paper or tied with ribbon.
It's the love you sew into your family's hearts; one small, holy moment at a time.
Make this Christmas one your kids remember—not for what you bought, but for what you gave them in spirit.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
