welcome to ilona’s LovingChristmas advent weblog
Again this year, life has taken turns that prevented me from creating new devotional in time for Advent. Yet, the wealth of past years efforts makes it easy to compile a selection of thoughts and ideas to celebrate the Lord Jesus as the center of this season.
Since I began in Advent season of 2006, I posted daily devotionals. Most of the years had a special theme, and I added pages to explain and illustrate the traditions attached to the Christmas season.
As a child, I loved the Advent Calendars my grandmother sent me, so, of course, this weblog just seemed the natural outcome. May the holiness and the joy of the season be communicated throughout these pages!
You may enjoy visiting the rest of the ”Loving Christmas’ site for ideas on traditional celebration of the season, including decor, recipes, and more.
