Bible readings and reflections for every day from December 1 to January 6, with each day's readings also focusing on a relevant piece of seasonal music.

He comes, O come O come Emmanuel) and other seasonal music (ranging from The shepherds' farewell to The 12 days of Christmas). The book concludes with a section of group study material.
