“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!
