I wonder what the responses would be if you asked people to share with you their family Christmas traditions…hmmm…We all have so many different traditions.  We tend to eat the same foods from year to year.  We tend to hang the same decorations, listen to the same songs, send cards to the same folks, and feel rushed and hurried. All part of the tradition…At church this coming Sunday, the children are having a HUGE celebration called “Birthday Party for Jesus.”  An angel will visit each classroom and will share part of the excitement of the Christmas story.  The children will hear the full story from their teachers.  Then, all the children will head to the Family Life Center where they will sing “Happy Birthday” to Jesus and share His birthday cake!  What a wonderful tradition!  As we come closer to Christmas Day, I invite you to make Christ part of your Christmas tradition.  Share Luke 2 with your family before you open presents.  Attend one of our Christmas Eve church services.  Pray with your family, thanking God for the gift of Jesus.  Merry Christmas!
