This Christmas Season

After Christmas last year, my mom gave me a booklet entitled Keeping CHRIST in Christmas for Kids by Donna and Nick Medendorp.  The book outlines an activity along with Bible verses for each day from December 1 through December 25.  That planted the seed for doing something each day with the kids this Christmas season that would relate to the meaning of the season, but when I pulled the book out and looked at the ideas I realized that a few changes would be needed.  Some of the activities were too advanced for the ages of my kids, and some of the activities I just didn't care for.  Fortunately, I love to research and plan things, so I started scouring the internet for Christmas activity ideas.  Of course, this was Nov. 30th, so I didn't leave myself much time to get it all together...to some degree we're winging it.  I certainly don't have Bible verses for each activity...but that will be an improvement for next year when we do it again. :) 

So for the next 25 days I'll be posting the Christmas activity we do and how it goes rather than things from the flexible schedule idea we've been working from.  Enjoy!
