3 Ways to Keep Christ in Christmas - From Foundations Christian School

Picture
Here at Foundations Christian School, we've been spending a lot of time with your kids and we understand just how hard it is for them to concentrate on their schoolwork this time of year. After all, it's Christmas! There are presents to look forward to, yummy goodies to snack on and family to visit. It's a busy time of year, to say the least! 

However, we also work really hard to make sure they understand how important it is for them to remember that Christmas isn't just about all of the presents they'll get on Christmas morning. It's about Jesus and we celebrate His birth on this glorious day. We thought you might have a little bit of a tough time keeping them reminded of this truth as we all head of to Christmas break, so we thought we'd offer you some ideas to help. 

Give Jesus a Gift

Jesus was the greatest gift we could have received from God. How often do we give something back to Him? As a family, try to come up with a way you can give Jesus something this Christmas. It might be changing a specific behavior pattern, or it might be blessing your elderly neighbor with a plate of homemade chocolate chip cookies. No matter what you choose, Jesus will be thrilled with your thoughtfulness in His honor on His birthday.

Read the Christmas Story

Before you even begin to open your presents, take a few minutes and read the Christmas story together as a family. There are several versions of it found in the gospels and it helps to center our minds on what's truly important during Christmas. Once you're done, pray and thank God for sending His Son to this earth. Remember, your kids will mirror what they see you do, and what's important to you will become important to them.

Find a Way to Serve

There are so many ways you can serve others on Christmas. The Arctic League is always looking for volunteers to hand out toys to children on Christmas morning, and many families make this a tradition every single year. Talk to God and ask the Holy Spirit how you can serve others with your children on Christmas. 

We're excited about the upcoming break, just like your family is excited. We hope you all have a safe and happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

If you want more information about Foundations Christian School, we are still actively looking for enrollments. Our hearts are so full of love for the children in our care each day, but there's always room for more! Please contact us to get more information.
