Having a Merry Christmas and Happy Christmas is not about the gifts that you buy to give out, it is not about the various gifts that you may get. Instead, this is about all the things that you do to remember what the holiday is truly about. For many people who are religious, there are various traditions that they may do every year in order to ensure they all have a Merry Christmas and Happy Christmas. If you are looking for something that is going to help everyone really understand the religious aspects of Christmas, then you may want to try to use some of these traditions!
A Nativity Set Is A Must Have
One of the activities you can do days earlier than Christmas is location your nativity figures all over the house. The empty manger is positioned below the Christmas tree. As the days get nearer to Christmas, the figures are moved nearer to the manager. Then make sure the first present opened on Christmas morning is a wrapped infant Jesus to remind them that Jesus is the exceptional present we can ever receive! What a unique way to have your family a Merry Christmas and Happy Christmas.
Throw A Birthday Party For Jesus
Read the Scripture account of Jesus’ birth. After that, you can have a birthday cake for Jesus. The cake is chocolate, representing sin. It’s crammed with cherry pie filling, representing the blood of Jesus, and it’s protected with white frosting, which represents our new existence in Christ. There is no better way to say Merry Christmas and Happy Christmas than celebrating the birth of Jesus!
A Life-Changing Sleeping Arrangement
We realized that Mary, Joseph, and Jesus did now not have it handy that first Christmas. Each Christmas Eve gives up your beds and sleeps on the ground collectively to take into account what they had to have endured. This can give you a great appreciation for the sacrifice that Mary and Joseph made and, at the same time, more appreciative of the comforts that you have.
Share Stories About God
Christmas is a great time for everyone to gather around the Christmas tree and talk. And for those who want to start a great religious tradition, why not talk about the good that has come into your life this year due to your belief in God? How have you become closer to God? What can you do to help others become closer to God? For many people, these talks is just a way for the entire family to feel closer to the Lord and for them to do their part in helping to spread the Gospel.
What traditions do you have that speak to your religious beliefs? Many people have those that have been passed down for many generations, but these could be a great start for those who want to start doing something on their own this year and passing it down to their kids as they grow. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Christmas!
