Keeping Christ in Christmas

Keeping Christ in Christmas

Would you like to teach your children the words to some nice Christmas Carols? Would you like to keep the Christ in Christmas? Would you like to read the story of the birth of Jesus to your children? Did you know that Jesus was  not born in a barn, I thought He was and many of my friends and family thought He was born in a barn like structure. He wasn’t! He was born in a cave, a cave  that had a lot of barn type materials around. It was a cave that the shepherds would use to sleep in when they were traveling through Bethlehem. That’s why the the barn type stuff, they would bring their donkeys into the cave with them. Do you know why Mary and Joseph were traveling that night?

Do you know who ruled Rome when Jesus was born? Children have a lot of questiions if you start talking about the real reason for Christmas rather than the Christmas present reason. And I am sure there are at least a few of you out there that are like I was myself, I didn’t know all the answers. Well I know them all now, and we have them all on our web site, if you would like to know all this and more go to www.OurHolidaySite.com.

We also have lots of Christmas carols like “It Came Upon A Midnight Clear” and “Oh Christmas Tree” and “Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem” and “Deck the Halls” and many more. We also have “The Christmas Story”. You know that one “Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even a mouse”, we have the whole story on our site. We also have some pages of pictures that you can print out for your children to color so you can shop quietly and undisturbed. We also have directions to make your children’s pictures look like stained glass. We have lots of fun stuff on our pages and you can shop on our site too. We like crafts so we have a few Christmas crafts on our site and are adding more as we think of them or remember them.

I just remembered when my grandchildren were much younger (they are teenagers now) I used to have them here every other weekend and near Christmas we would make Christmas decorations. I just remembered that as I am writing this so those are not in there yet! They include beads and pipe cleaners and although I remember what the beads looked like, I will have to go to the store and find out what they are called and the size so I can give you the correct directions. I have bunches of beads left and I will one day get back to making things with them. I also made crocheted items for Christmas, like doilies and placemats and would give them to my neighbors as gifts. I know the day will come when I actually have time on my hands and I don’t require sleep or rest! I never wrote articles or pages or anything during my working years but I find that I am enjoying it.

Many years ago I started writing my life story it was just going to be this one part but you can’t or at least I couldn’t tell that part without telling this part and on and on, until it became my life story. Now that I find that I enjoy writing articles maybe I will get back to that book or maybe I will be able to separate it and write a serial like in the old days!  Well anyway this is my article, my first one here, and I hope you will visit our site and have a very nice holiday. Don’t forget to go to www.OurHolidaySite.com.  Merry Christmas and may health and wealth find you in the New Year.
