Tomorrow I will look at a tree and see what’s meant so much to me for years: a heaping of hedonism. But that tomorrow will become my yesterday because of how I’ve labored with creating my greatest Christmas gift ever from God to me and from me to you: “The 39 Days of Christmas.” For three months I have been consumed with Christ, reflecting on His biblical presence before His physical presence on earth. And now this blog series is complete and wholly ready for you to use this Christmas or next or any other time that you need to remember that Jesus is the reason for Christmas and why we even exist. I have compiled the beginnings of each post here for you to sing to the tune of “The 12 Days of Christmas.”* You can also click select links to read posts from this series.

Have a Merry Christmas. I hope you enjoy singing this and have fun in Jesus Christ.
