Before you take down the Christmas tree or pack away the lights—pause. The party is just getting started.

In this joyful episode of Living LIT—Living In Truth, Robyn sits down with Catholic children’s book author Katie Warner to talk about celebrating Christmas the Catholic way—as a season, not a single day.

Katie shares the inspiration behind her books Christmas Carols and My True Love Gave to Me, the latter beautifully introducing children to the meaning behind the 12 Days of Christmas. Together, they explore how story, song, and simple traditions can help families slow down, keep the focus on Christ, and enter more deeply into the Church’s rich liturgical rhythm.

This conversation will encourage you to:

Keep Christmas going beyond December 25 (the way it's meant to be savored and celebrated.)

Help children understand the faith through tradition and symbolism

Celebrate Christmastide with joy, intention, and simplicity

Embrace the Church’s calendar as a gift that teaches us how to rejoice well

Because the Catholic Church doesn’t rush the celebration—we super celebrate. And your home, your “little church,” is the perfect place to do it.
