Advent Day 25::Christmas Day::at the name of JESUS...

December 25

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:11 ESV

“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Luke 2:14 ESV

...at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth
Philippians 2:10 ESV

The following resources were used to create one of my most popular series of posts and photographs here on Pollywog Creek. Through Advent 2013, I will be posting them again, with occasional rare commentary. They speak for themselves.

In addition to the resources listed below, I'm adding Ann Voskamp's The Greatest Gift - Unwrapping the Full Love Story of Christmas to my daily readings this year.

The Cradle to the Cross Wreath by Caleb Voskamp { The empty "manger" at the end of the spiral in some of the photographs is not part of Caleb's wreath, but from a creche made of olive wood that was a gift from my parents many years ago.}

Advent Scriptures and Readings
The Handel's Messiah Family Advent Reader by Donna W. Payne and Fran Lenzo

Children's Bible
