Merry Christmas! Everyone knows the Reason for the Season, right? Everyone knows the Christmas Story, true? Well, that's what I thought too until my son, who is very familiar with God and Jesus, asked me what angels had to do with Christmas. It made me rethink what I assumed. Yes, an angel's role in the Christmas Story is not the most important thing, but to me, using angels was quite an amazing and powerful way to announce the birth of Jesus. It is just another example of how powerful God is and how important Jesus is.
Because of this little eye-opener, this year I am going to make birthday cupcakes for Jesus. With the help of my little ones, we will decorate each cupcake with a character from the Christmas Story and talk about each one. When it is time to eat them, we will sing Happy Birthday to Jesus.
I encourage you to find a Christmas tradition that is based on the the actual Christmas story. From my family to yours, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Blessed New Year!
