You can always expect to receive certain kinds of Christmas presents from certain people. For example, I could always expect to receive gifts of some kind of clothing from my mom, because she felt it was her duty to keep me properly dressed. And she made no apologies for that! As catechists, we should make no apologies for offering gifts to others at Christmas that focus on the centrality of Christ. In other words, the gifts we give can truly help to “keep Christ in Christmas.”
With that in mind, I would like to suggest the following resources as ways that you can offer Christmas gifts that focus on Jesus, who is the reason for the season! For a limited time, these new and award-winning gifts from Loyola Press are available for 30% off. (Details at the link.) This Christmas, bring families closer to each other and our faith with a gift from Loyola Press.
