"A Bright Idea for Parents" by Sondra Buell
When my children were growing, I loved to use "teachable moments" to bring God into our everyday life. At Christmas time, when we'd go shopping for gift wrap, I'd have the kids look for wrappings that had baby Jesus, or the three kings, a big star, or something that reflected the "real" reason we have Christmas. I'd use these moments to tell them about our Savior Jesus Christ. Yes, we'd talk about Santa and Snowmen, but I'd encourage them in their faith journey to realize that we have Christmas because of Jesus.
It's Jesus that brings us inner joy! It's Jesus that brings us eternal life!
