Merry Christmas Y’all! Oh how I love the Christmas holiday! I over decorate my entire house and love a good Christmas shirt! Christmas is magical for me and I can’t wait to celebrate each year! With the hustle and bustle of life and celebration, it’s important to remember the reason for the season…the birth of our Savior, Jesus.
I want to quickly share a tradition we started with Kaleb many years ago. Each year on Christmas Eve or the day before (depending on family schedules, this is something I like to do with just our little family) we throw a birthday party for Jesus. We read a condensed version of the Christmas Story and then sing Happy Birthday. I buy a decorated cake that says Happy Birthday Jesus and cute napkins and plates to match. I always want Kaleb to remember the reason we celebrate Christmas. As he gets older the excitement fades slightly and it will soon become something we may not do until we have grand kids BUT I know for certain that through this little birthday celebration, I have taught him what should be most celebrated and that is the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I would love to hear what traditions you have with your family during the holiday season! I pray that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas holiday. Merry Christmas!
