As Christians, it doesn't take long at this time of year to hear the phrase..."remember the reason for the season". It's a phrase that seems to be used quite often in Christan circles during the holidays, and whether you think its a "corny" phrase or has all the meaning in the world, one thing is true...the statement is true! Whether we like it or not, its so crucial to remember why we celebrate. As sort of a follow up to last weeks question on holiday traditions, let me ask, what is it that you do as a family or couple to keep Jesus center during this time of year? Do you have any "spiritual traditions" you adhere to, to make sure your family remembers the reason for the season? Share your thoughts...it would be great for others to pick up some new ideas from you!

We give our kids 3 gifts for Christmas representing the 3 gifts that were given to baby Jesus. We read the birth of Jesus and then we open our gifts. It really is neat for them to understand the symbolism behind the 3 gifts!

We love to go the "The Critter Barn" to see the live nativity. Our girls are a bit young, but I think they are "kind of" starting to get it! It is very humbling to see what it might have been like in real life. To smell the smells of the manger, to see "Mary & Joseph" as average people, it's neat.
