Our family has many Christmas traditions, but we don’t do them all
every year. Instead, we do whichever ones
feel right for that particular year. Some of our
many traditions (besides the Christmas Eve ones which I will mention in another post)
include a nativity advent, reading from the Christmas story basket, decorating
a gingerbread house, giving gifts to Christ, going to the city’s light display,
going to the light display at the LDS temple grounds, doing twelve days of
Christmas for a needy family, singing Christmas carols around the tree on as
many nights in December as possible, participating in the neighborhood
Christmas play, etc. We also like to try
new traditions as we go along. This year, along with doing a selection of the old traditions, we also read excerpts from the four gospels every night possible in December. By Christmas Eve, we’d read the highlights of
Jesus Christ’s life, atonement, and resurrection. It was a wonderful way to remember Christ
during the holiday season.
