Every year, Christmas causes us to make room in our homes and schedules. Our routines are disrupted as we get ready to celebrate and find ourselves busy with events and gatherings.

As you go through your preparations and celebrations, these devotions provide opportunities to pause and reflect on how you will you make room for the best things — others, hope, peace, joy and love — this Christmas.
