This is great…

We actually threw an open house “Birthday Party for Jesus” and invited guests to sponsor children, buy mosquito nets, etc.

My girls are 5 and 3 and they are slowly “getting it”. When we pray for our sponsored children or fill our shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child or mommy plays violin at the nursing home, we talk about these acts of “giving to Jesus”.

And then they get LOTS of presents from Grandma on Christmas morning. : )

true dat, I have actually and failed miserably. That said, I wasn’t asking them the tough questions, like why do we give presents to others and not Jesus on Christmas. It seems like if you’re not able to answer, you shouldn’t ask that question in the first place. It’s like asking a 7 year old if they know where babies come from and then not being able to respond when they give you the stork story

Keep fighting the good fight. Love your blog and the questions you ask us and your kids both!

LOL! One of the readers over on my blog has a question for Jesus’s Grandma, too. Was she in Bethlehem that night? Why couldn’t Joseph and Mary stay with her that night?

Whenever you find her, send her our way!

that’s fantastic. Smart kid. The tradition in my family is to have a Christmas Present for Jesus time right after we read the Christmas story on Christmas morning. It’s a little cheesy but it put it into perspective for us as kids. We’d all “give” something like, for the little ones, “I’m going to obey mom more this year”. Sorta a new years resolutionish type of thing, something you want to resolve to do for Jesus. For us as older folks it’s usually something you feel God is prompting change in your heart on anyways… pride… etc.

Each year we open Jesus’ Christmas present and read last year’s list, and that his the amazing part. For the most part we’ve forgotten what last year’s gifts were, and it’s incredible to see the journey God has taken us on in those areas. Then we write everyone’s gift for this year on a slip of paper and add it to the pile and rewrap the gift, ready to be reopened next year.
