For many families, the four weeks leading as much as Christmas is usually a time of great stress, unrealized dreams, a commercial blur, and a financial burden. Susan Hines-Brigger, the mother of four children, knows well that the days counting down to Christmas can easily turn into for parents and grandparents a nightmare of whiny behavior, crowded to-do lists, and a less-than-spiritual experience. That’s why this mother who has seen and heard it all in her own home all the way through Advent created this resource with prayers and activities: She wants to put Christ back into the Circle of relatives holiday celebration and lend a hand families—even hers—turn into holier. The use of A Catholic Circle of relatives Advent each day will give Catholic families time together to pray, reflect on Scripture, and do a simple activity together. This day by day source of inspiration can be utilized in the Circle of relatives setting as prayer before or after meals, as morning and evening prayer, or as Circle of relatives time in front of the Advent wreath or Christmas crèche.
