“She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21
Too often, Christ is absent in Christmas.
Jesus often takes a back seat to Christmas programs, decorations and presents.
So how about beginning a new Christ-centered tradition?
Ellen Elwell shares these great ideas from Christian grandmothers:
- After attending Christmas Eve service, one family reads Scripture together.
- Another suggests having each person take a votive candle, lighting it, and answering the question, “What do you like best about Jesus?”
- Still another family acts out the Christmas story complete with costumes. The grandmother makes a photo album to document the performance for each family member.
- One grandmother without nearby family invites seniors just like her to share Christmas together. She shows them the JESUS Film. https://www.jesusfilm.org/watch/jesus.html/english.html
Whatever you do this Christmas, make Christ the center of your plans!
