Inspired by and adapted from her breakout book 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess, 7 Days of Christmas takes New York Times bestselling author Jen Hatmaker's social experiment of restraint in seven key areas—food, clothes, spending, media, possessions, waste, and stress—and turns them into thoughtful and practical ideas for more generosity to capture the true spirit of Christmas.
In a season where stores display Christmas in August with constant pressure to manufacture joy, 7 Days of Christmas: A Season of Generosity will encourage readers toward a little less hustle in exchange for a little more family, laughter, and generosity.
“So with great anticipation, I put this delicious book in your hands as we all steer our ships into a season spiritually marked by great tenderness but economically marked by great excess. It is the strangest dichotomy. We all feel it. I do. You do. We have a strong sense that the tail is wagging the dog, but with near constant propaganda from every conceivable angle, it is a sincere challenge to jump off the crazy train and reclaim one of our holiest seasons. … We actually have great control over how we celebrate Christmas and thus how it affects our families, communities, and hearts. We are not helpless victims of Black Friday.”
