There are so many wonderful websites dedicated to the rich heritage of Catholic Christmas traditions that any attempt we might make would pale in comparison. Instead, Catholic Home and Garden presents our favorite Christmas links. We hope that in your Catholic home, you will incorporate some of them so that they will become treasured traditions for your family as well.

A note about the business that supports us year round and our "foolish" decision during the Advent and Christmas season ...
Most businesses, whether they are Catholic or not, work around the clock to take advantage of the Christmas shopping season. Traditionally, it is a make-it-or-break-it time of year when sales can make the difference between staying in business or finding another line of work.
Catholic Home and Garden's business end of things, Catholic Home Shop, has made a decision that is foolish by the standards of the world. On Saturday, December 15th (the Feast of St. Christina, my name saint), we will stop taking orders so that we, as a Catholic family, can focus on our prayer life.
In short, we've decided to worship Christ and not the dollar.
While we will not be selling our own goods, you can help us to continue our work by visiting our shopping pages where you will find links to larger companies where you can do your Catholic Christmas shopping. We receive a small commission that will help us to pay the hosting costs for this site.

 No Christmas Page would be complete without links to Christmas Music. Until this year, my greatest joy in prayer came from service as a Catholic music director.
Since my partner, Elizabeth, an exceptionally talented organist and keyboardist, and I will be unable to do my favorite hymn this Christmas, I've put it here so I can enjoy it whenever I visit my own website! |

| I Wonder As I Wander Lyrics I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I;
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
When Mary birthed Jesus 'twas in a cow's stall
With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all
But high from God's heaven, a star's light did fall
And the promise of ages it then did recall.
If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing
A star in the sky or a bird on the wing
Or all of God's Angels in heaven to sing
He surely could have it, 'cause he was the King
