As Christians, we celebrate Christmas because of Jesus Christ. We know that all praise and glory belongs to Jesus!
The world around us wants to diminish the true reason for the Christmas Season with the focus placed on spending money and make-believe stories. With all of the flashy stuff that the world has to offer, it may seem as though focusing on the true meaning of Christmas will leave us and our kids feeling underwhelmed.
While we know that true JOY comes from knowing Jesus, there are so many wonderful ways to keep Christ in Christmas AND the celebrations memorable! Here are some of my favorite ideas from around the web.
