The holidays can bring joy and celebration, but they can also amplify struggles—whether it’s stress, loneliness, or old habits trying to creep back in. But here’s the good news: Christmas isn’t about surviving; it’s about thriving through the renewal, strength, and freedom Christ offers us.

In this episode, we’ll explore practical, Christ-centered steps to guard your heart, focus your mind, and lean on the One who came to set us free. So grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let’s journey together toward thriving in purity and purpose this Christmas season.”

Here are the 5 ideas Chris mentioned to help reframe the season with your family.

1. DIY “Christmas Olympics”

Create a fun competition with holiday-themed events like a gingerbread house-building contest, snowman relay races, cookie decorating speed rounds, or a wrapping paper obstacle course. Award silly medals for “Best Decorator,” “Fastest Wrapper,” or “Snowball Toss Champion.”

2. “Reverse” Christmas Scavenger Hunt

Instead of finding things, hide small, meaningful notes or gifts (like handwritten memories or inside jokes) around the house. Each clue leads to the next, and everyone takes turns searching. End the hunt with hot chocolate and sharing favorite family memories.

3. Family Christmas Movie Reenactment

Pick a favorite holiday movie (like Home Alone or Elf) and have everyone act out funny scenes together. Use DIY props, costumes, and cameras to film it, then have a “premiere” night with popcorn. It’ll be a goofy family keepsake.

4. “Around the World” Christmas Dinner

Research how Christmas is celebrated in other countries and cook a dish or dessert from each. Set up “stations” in the kitchen or dining room, decorate accordingly, and let everyone learn something new while feasting together.

5. Holiday Camp-In by the Tree

Set up a cozy indoor camping experience next to the Christmas tree with blankets, pillows, and sleeping bags. Tell Christmas stories, play board games, make s’mores in the oven, and fall asleep under the glow of the lights.

If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and be sure to subscribe for more Christ-centered recovery encouragement. Until next time, remember: through Him, you don’t just survive—you thrive. And as always, remember when you are walking on this journey through recovery, you are not walking alone.
