December
Try out these questions around your dinner table or another time when the family is together:
What are you looking forward to about Christmas?
Does it ever seem hard to remember that Christmas is about Jesus? What makes it hard? What helps us remember?
What’s your favorite thing we do as a family to celebrate Christmas?
What do you think it would have been like to be in Bethlehem on the night Jesus was born? What would you have seen and heard? Would you have been able to tell something special was happening?
What do we need to do to help others during this season?
What’s the best gift you ever received? Why was that gift so special?
What’s the best gift you ever gave someone? Why was that a special gift to be able to give?

Lord I pray for churches to be more “family friendly” all year and especially at Christmas; Please stop them taking the kids away for something “more appropriate” and please start helping them to integrate them into the church and their families, and do something “more appropriate” for all. May I find a church soon that accepts and wants me and my kids without herding them away; and a church that I can serve with my kids and not with them taken away.
