Ways to Keep Christ in Christmas

The number one way to keep Jesus in your Christmas celebrations is to have Him present in your daily life.
If you’ve already accepted Jesus as your Savior and made Him the center of your life, keeping Christ in Christmas is more about the way you live your life than the things you say—such as “Merry Christmas” versus “Happy Holidays”

Keeping Christ in Christmas means daily revealing the character, love, and spirit of Christ that dwells in you, by allowing these traits to shine through your actions. Here are simple ways to keep Christ the central focus of your life this Christmas season.

1 Give God one very special gift from you to Him
2 Set aside a special time to read the Christmas story in Luke 1:5-56; 2: 1-20
3 Set up a Nativity scene in your home
4 Plan a project of good will this Christmas
5 Take a group Christmas caroling in a nursing home or a children’s hospital
6 Give a surprise gift of service to each member of your family
7 Set aside a time of family devotions on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning
8 Attend a Christmas church service together with your family
9 Send Christmas cards that convey a spiritual message
10 Write a Christmas letter to a missionary
