How to Keep Christ in Christmas




It’s very easy to be swayed by all the advertisements to get your children presents for Christmas. We love our children and wish to see them happy. Well here’s an idea—what if we showed them the true meaning of Christmas? Here’s three suggestions you can do as a family to bring Christmas joy to others.


1. Plan a project of good will —- adopt a family whose needs are un met. Help an elderly neighbor by shoveling their snow. Buy Christmas presents for a family who has lost their jobs.


2. Take a group of friends and family Christmas caroling at one of the nursing homes. Have a great time, interact with the residents.


3. Read the Christmas story in Luke 1:5-56 through 2:1-20 instead of watching tv. Have a conversation about what that must have been like for the family of Joseph and Mary.
