We all have Christmas traditions. This month, I thought I would share one of my families' traditions with you. A way that we enjoy the season and have more opportunities to talk about the real meaning of Christmas.
Each year, we wrap 12 Christmas stories. There are a lot of children's Christmas books that tell the Christmas story or share about someone discovering the true meaning of Christmas. For the twelve days before Christmas, each night we unwrap one of our stories and read them before bed. The last book is read on Christmas Eve and on Christmas morning before the presents are opened, we read the Christmas story from the bible.
For our family, this is a lot of fun and reminds us each day to talk about what we are celebrating. Trust me our children do not let us forget to unwrap a book!
I encourage you as a family to make some memories together as you remind your children what we are celebrating. Many of you have amazing ways you celebrate! In fact, we'd love it if you'd share some of your traditions with us. Post a comment with your Christmas traditions! You might just inspire another family to start something new that will be meaningful for them.
