ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER

Morning Time

When you go into your child’s room, cuddle them and say: "It's Christmas time, [child's name]! I'm so excited that it's almost Jesus' birthday!"
 

Drive Time

While on the go, take turns telling each other happy news. It can be anything happy! Talk about how God sent an angel to tell Mary some VERY happy news. The angel told Mary she was going to have God's Son, Jesus!

Cuddle Time

Cuddle with your child and pray: "God, we have so many fun Christmas traditions. [Child's name] and I love doing them all together! While we're making fun memories this Christmas, help us remember that Jesus is the one we're celebrating. Jesus is special, because Jesus is Your Son!"
 

Bath Time

Add lots of bubble bath to bath time. Ask your child if they can cover their entire body with bubbles so they look like an angel. Say: "God sent an angel to tell Mary that she was going to have a baby. The baby was Jesus, God's Son!"
