The Greatest Christmas

Come experience a Christmas like never before —
Come experience a Christmas like you’ve always dreamed of…

So come Christmas morning, you haven’t missed Him.
So come Christmas morning — you’ve unwrapped the greatest gift you’ve always yearned for —
more of Him.

Open up this book — and be surprised!

Watch the tree pop-up —- and be kinda awed that you & your people can be grafted into the family tree of God. Let His wondrous love, told right from creation to the creche, awaken you again, surprise you, capture your heart!

Every day of December, like your own advent calendar — open the booklet with your people & read your daily love letter from The Greatest Story ever told, right from our genesis beginning to our King’s coming under Bethlehem’s star — so your people know the WHOLE GREATEST STORY, from Creation to His Coming, & how His love has always, always, always been coming for you!

And then, after the day’s reading, fling open the one of the 25 advent doors — and discover that day’s Biblical ornament to hang on your very own tree — that will end up telling the grandest Gospel story, from the Beginning to Bethlehem!

This is a gift of hope, of love, of wonder — that all of our hearts long to hear again and again.

This is an heirloom, a Christmas tradition, a wonder for the child in all of us!

“I sat in an idle, hot car for 15 minutes in 90 degrees heat for carpool while reading this — and literally had chills.

To walk through Advent with Ann Voskamp is to read The Greatest Story Ever Told written in the words of one of the greatest storytellers of our time.

I read and understood with a fresh perspective.
The Greatest Gift is the most meaningful gift you’ll buy all year. ”

“Every year, we, the adults, The Keepers of Christmas, wonder, “Where did the wonder go?”

Hello, Christmas. Hello, wonder.“

Emily Freeman author of Million Little Ways, A: Uncover the Art You Were Made to Live

Heirloom Wooden Advent Wreaths

This Christmas you can start a new tradition with your family, practicing giving, in preparation for the Greatest Gift.

Our family’s little creative tradition: a one-of-a-kind, 24-hole heirloom wooden Advent wreath.

Each day we, we light the next candle in the 24-hole wreath, move Mary on a donkey figurine further around the circle & closer to Christmas — and read that day’s epic story from either adult’s The Greatest Gift, or the family edition, Unwrapping the Greatest Gift.

A simple & memorable family tradition to focus powerfully, beautifully, on Jesus… (that also extends into a 40 hole Easter wreath with a silhouette of Jesus carrying the Cross.)
