It’s Time to Share Your Tree

December 16, 2008 by Kristen

I love Christmas. And I love decorating.
Put them together?  
Oh, yes. 

We are trying to keep the focus on Christ this year. After all, we wouldn’t have the day without Him. It’s a struggle though.

But I like to weave The Savior throughout all of our traditions and even decorations.  
I asked my kids, “Why do we light up our tree?” They waited… “Because Jesus is the light of the season. And the Wisemen followed a light…and”
Call me corny, but I try.
We have a couple of family traditions: We read the Christmas story from The Bible (something my hubby did as a child) and we open a gift on Christmas Eve (something I did as a child). We also give each of our kids a special new ornament every year.

What are some traditions your family shares?

    Beautiful tree!

    We have a lot of traditions & they all come from MY childhood. I just realized that. I'll share a few of them. We always go to the movies on Christmas Eve. All of us get new pajamas and a new ornament on Christmas Eve. We bake Jesus a birthday cake and sing Happy Birthday to Him. We also always have the same breakfast on Christmas morning. I love Christmas traditions!

    Where on earth did you find something like that? Totally made me laugh.

    We start later around here since we mostly celebrate the 12 days to Epiphany following Christmas Day. As much as I love the decorations, in our house, it’s all about the food. Forget the smell of evergreens. It’s the smell of steaming Christmas pudding that signals Christmas around here. Speaking of food, yhour strawberry ornament is making me hungry, yum!

    Our Christmas is full of tradition. Everyday in Dec. we do a Christmas activity together. On Christmas Eve we go to my mom’s and make Cut out Cookies. We have a family get together at my parents that evening and eat finger foods and drink the fancy Grape Juice in the bottles. The boys get one present from my mom which is new PJ’s to wear that night. Once at home we read the Christmas story from the Bible. It is truly the best time of the year!

    It’s a difficult balance…. Christ and Frosty The Snow Man all getting bunched into one celebration. We’ve just recently encountered how confusing this can be to a kid as our oldest is just old enough to ask the tough questions. I’d love to hear from other veteran moms ways to detangle (or at least find a cohesive balance) between the two.

    As children we also received 1 gift on Christmas Eve. It was always something my dad picked out for “his girls.” Not something we had asked for, but a collectible, or a piece of jewelry, etc. We also received an ornament each year, a glass ball decorated by our mom with our name, year, and a small picture like a candy cane or wreath.

    Beautiful tree! We have similar traditions. My daughter and I take a day to shop for one new ornament each year and then go out for a nice lunch. We also open our stockings on Christmas Eve.

    The neat thing to think about is one day YOUR kids will do these traditions with THEIR kids…and so YOUR legacy lives on (and your parents’ legacy). That’s one of the most beautiful aspects to Christmas–bridging family past to present…and then future.

    Rooted in the Lord? It has eternal significance :).

    Love your decorations!

    My dad (81) still reads the Christmas story. We open most of our presents on Christmas Eve (my family tradition) and then a few special ones Christmas morning along with a stocking.

    I am loving all these parties – what fun! You have my kind of tree! Two of our favorite traditions are to buy ornaments for each year and tell the Christmas story using the nativity set as props. Merry Christmas!

    Beautiful tree! I'm going to borrow your question about asking the kids why we light up our tree? I have a 3 yr old & 5 yr old…their answers should be interesting!

    Thanks for letting me peek inside your lovely home. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! God Bless.

    We do a new ornament each year too. I also make the kids new pjs. I bring out all the Christmas books and put them in a tub by the tree….then we read through them throughout the month.

    We buy a new ornament each year, if only for our Kiddo. I try to get one for us, too. Another tradition we have is to bundle up, head to Starbucks for cappucinos and hot chocolate and drive around looking at lights. We love it!

    Very pretty tree! I think it's awesome that you teach your kids that Jesus is the reason we have Christmas to begin with. We are trying to teach ours as well that it's not about gifts and presents. Awesome!
