Interactively Celebrating Christmas!

This Christmas, things will be different. So, dad tells his children, Anne and Ben. He then shows them an empty manger, a small bundle of hay and reads Mathew 25:40 b:

"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

That means doing good thing for others is like doing it for Jesus, it is a gift to Him. This year, family members will concentrate on doing for others. Every time as service is done, a piece of straw will be put in the empty manger.

The Christ child figure will not be put in the manger until Christmas Day, when hopefully, there will be lots of straw to cushion Him. They will give gifts to Jesus by serving others without expecting anything in return.

At first, Anne and Ben do not like this idea. But then, Anne is surprised to find a number of pieces of straw in the manger because her mom did Anne's chores for her. She is so touched by it, that Anne does some good deeds for Ben.

They discover the joy the comes from helping others. Because of that, there are lots of pieces of straw in the manger on Christmas morning. There is also lots of joy present from giving these kinds of gifts to Jesus.

This kit teaches a great lesson, and provides everything needed to re-create this blessing in your family. There is an empty manger, a small bundle of straw, the Christ child figure, and the story book. To get you started, the back of the book has a list of service ideas.

By doing this, the focus of Christmas is on Christ, and your family will have a great interactive way to celebrate. Any age can do this, even the youngest of children. I highly endorse making this a yearly tradition, and recommend this five-star kit as a way of enjoying the true meaning of the season.
