12 Days of Christmas

This year as a family we are doing the 12 Days of Christmas, following an outline put out by our church.  It is geared to putting Christ back into Christmas.  We read a couple of verses of the Christmas Story everyday and do a little activity that sort of corresponds to the scripture!  The first day we read a scripture about Mary, the Mother of Jesus and watched the music video of the song "Mary Did You Know".  We have read a scripture proclaiming Christ's birth and then we had to take a family photo and put the caption with our photo..."A Savior is Born, We Rejoice".  We have talked about how music can bring the Christmas Spirit into our lives...talked about each character of the Nativity and their importance....and on the last day we will put all our electronics away and eliminate distractions that would prevent us from drawing closer to Christ!!  We will sing Silent Night.  It is a fun way to more fully invite the Spirit into our home, especially at this special time of the year!!!

Here is our family picture...

And because we were having fun we had to do a funny face picture too!!!
