This time of year is unmatched for me.
I love it all… and so do my kids.
But the real challenge comes in trying to keep Jesus at the center of our celebration. It’s easy to subscribe to the world’s idea of Christmas.
Because to be honest, it’s not all that bad.
It’s fun to decorate the tree. We love the holiday music and movies. There’s ample family (and friend) time.
The smells…
The sights…
The sales…
But… they don’t always point to Jesus.
So as parents, we need to be intentional in reminding our children that this holiday celebration is a remembrance of the first Christmas.
We need to make sure Jesus really is the reason.
At CWAHM today, I’m sharing some ways to do just that. Whether you are looking for ideas yourself or have some to share, I’d love to hear from you!
