SYDNEY - AussieJournal -- Hand-lettered Christian advent calendar offers 24 days of Scripture-based reflection as Gallup data shows gifts and gatherings outpacing worship

As Christmas 2026 marketing ramps up, the Names of Jesus Advent Calendar is available for families, churches and individuals seeking a faith-based Advent countdown that keeps Jesus at the center of December.

The need shows in Gallup's most recent Christmas poll. Gifts (96%) and gatherings with family or friends (95%) remain nearly universal traditions, but attendance at a Christmas Eve or Christmas Day service has fallen to 47%, 17 points lower than in 2010. Gallup's analysis concluded that Christmas is "thriving as a social occasion focused on gatherings, festivities and gifts."

Commercial pressure remains strong too. In Gallup's October 2025 poll, at least 86% of consumers planned to buy gifts, with average estimated holiday spending of $1,007.

Designed by hand-lettering artist Lara Beeston, the Names of Jesus Advent Calendar invites users to turn a calendar card each day to reveal a different name or title of Jesus. Each name, from Prince of Peace to Emmanuel, becomes a short daily meditation on who Jesus is.
