Today was Sunday, so after lunch, we headed downstairs for today's Christmas activity. The kids decorated their little Christmas tree!
After church tonight, we started a new family tradition. We began to read a book called "Jotham's Journey." It is historical fiction, set around the time of Christ's birth. We will read a chapter each night leading up to Christmas Day. In conjunction with this, we have Advent candles this year to help remind us of the coming of Christ for us in the past, His future coming, and His presence with us in the present. There is a short family devotional at the end of each chapter, so I am hoping that this will be a sweet time of family worship that will help us keep our hearts more focused on Him this month!
