What If This Christmas Was Different?
A Holy Interruption
What if this Christmas… wasn’t about the tree, the shopping lists, or the pressure to make everything perfect?
What if this year, instead of asking “Am I ready for Christmas?” we asked, “Am I ready for Christ?”
That’s the heart of Legacy Pastor Patrick (Pat) Bousum’s new book, What If This Christmas. It’s not another retelling of the nativity story, but it’s a fresh reimagining of how we see it, feel it, and live it. This book invites us to pause in the middle of the chaos, to look deeper, and to see Christmas as more than a holiday tradition.
Christmas is a holy interruption—God breaking into a broken world. And this is an incredible resources that helps us rediscover that truth.
About the Book
In What If This Christmas, Pastor Pat Bousum takes us on a journey through the deeper realities of Christ’s birth. Each chapter asks a “what if” question that invites us to wonder, reflect, and re-center our hearts.
You’ll explore themes such as:
The Reveal – How God pulls back the veil to show His presence and His promises.
The Road – The unexpected journeys that prepare us for God’s purposes.
The Room – What it means to truly make space for Christ.
The Regent – The clash between the manger and the powers of this world.
The Result – The redemption and joy that only Jesus brings.
This isn’t a book about creating the perfect Christmas—it’s about discovering the unique joy of Christmas by preparing Him room in our hearts.
