There are so many inviting things about Christmas, but I always love how beautiful our tree looks and how much light and joy it adds to the house. I also love lighting our Advent candles every night and reading a passage from the scriptures. It is a beautiful, quiet and yet exciting time as we wait for the birth of our Saviour.
