Today’s Activity:

Often times (OK, most of the time) our children focus more on their gifts than the real reason for Christmas.  Take some time today to remind your little ones why we celebrate Christmas.

Note:

If you don’t celebrate Christmas in your home then teach your children a little bit about the holiday that some of their friends may be celebrating this month.

Evaluate:

I found this great scripture advent calender.  Depending on your religion it may not work for you but I’m sure you could find something similar.  Every morning we have been reading a scripture about the birth of Christ and singing a Christmas song.  I can instantly feel the spirit of Christmas in my home as my children sing along with us.  What things are you doing in your home to help remember the true meaning of Christmas?
