We had fun putting up the Christmas Tree.
Once upon a time ago, a long, long time ago, when Alex was just a little tyke his family didn't have a tree topper. So his crafty father made one. Many years passed and the paper angel became part of the family's traditions, so much so that when a star was placed on the tree there was a protest. Thus the paper angel continues to be part of our family tradition.
I still wonder why kids decorate in bunches and leave a whole side of the tree undecorated. It's one of life's great mysteries, I guess.
The kids enjoy counting down the days until Christmas.
As I said in another post, we are trying to keep Christ the focus of our Christmas. Some of the ways we do that are our:
Little People Nativity set that is only out for December,
our growing collection of Christian Christmas books,
Nativity decorations- I want more...
our felt nativity, watching Christian Christmas movies, and of course reading the Biblical account of Christ's birth.
