Luke 2:11

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:11


In today’s world it is often easy to get caught up in all the hoop-la that comes with the holidays and downplay the reason for the season! With four young girls who get excited about Santa, elves and reindeer we make a conscience effort to teach them the real reason for celebration-the birth of our Savior! About 2 years ago, Kelsey (my second daughter) came up with the idea to start our very own tradition. Before we open any Christmas presents, we all sit around as a family and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and thank God for the gift of His Son! I’m always proud of my girls for taking the time for this time of remembrance and not hurrying to get to the presents! If I remember correctly, this moment is document on video. But this year, I hope to capture on film and then scrapbook this tradition to continue to pass down through the generations!
Do you have your own Christ-centered traditions with your family? Maybe this is the year to start your own! If you would like to share your traditions, please do so!
