On this last day of Advent, we celebrate the cross. Jesus was born a baby just like everyone else. But he didn't stay a baby. He grew to be a man and eventually was put to death on a cross. He died on the cross for our sins, only to come back to life and conquer the grave and the cross. And that's what Christmas is really about - that Jesus would love us enough to come to earth in order to die in our place. Jesus' birth is a celebration and reminder of what He would do for us on the cross.
I have absolutely LOVED doing Truth in the Tinsel with Bryce this year. Each day's craft was intended to be an ornament for a tree, but I decided to display them all in order so we could see the progression of The Christmas Story. If you are looking for a fun way to really help you focus on the real meaning of Christmas, I highly recommend purchasing this ebook next year for your little ones!
