25 Symbols of Christmas: A devotional and family activity book for Advent based on the tradition of the Chrismon Tree

This devotional book takes you through 25 symbols of Christmas using the traditional Chrismons found in many churches during Advent. Chrismon means "Christ Monogram," and the symbols tell stories that can enrich your experience of the holiday season. In the back of the book there are patterns you can use, or you can even cut the symbols directly out of the book to make your own special decorations for your tree. This is a wonderful devotional and activity for individuals, couples, or families. The devotions could be done, one a day, starting on December 1st, or as Advent regularly starts earlier, you could begin with the first Sunday in Advent and give yourself a few "grace" days built in, still ending with the final Chrismon on Christmas morning--the Christ Child in the Manger.
