The ADVENTure of Christmas



Redeeming the Meaning of Christmas
Are your holidays a cozy, reflective time of making memories with your children, pointing them to the true meaning of CHRISTmas? Or are they a frenzied blur of activities, crisis shopping and secular trappings that have nothing to do with the true essence of the season? Fear not....armed with this book, mom, this year can be different!
As I reflect on Christmas traditions from the past and plan new traditions with a deeper meaning, I am SO thrilled with this book. A lot of wonderful information in the book that can help deepen the spiritual life of the entire family during the Christmas season. It takes all the very traditions we're practicing and giving the spiritual meanings behind them. She uses over 20 symbols and traditions of the season- candy canes, carols, lights, Christmas cards, gift giving, etc..- along with their history to teach lessons of love and life. With each mini-history piece are recipes, ideas and activities designed for family togetherness.
