Following are just some of the ways you can celebrate a Christ-centered Christmas. The resources at the end will give you a wealth of other ideas. This term signifies the eager anticipation of the world lost in sin for the coming of God's provision for sin, His Son, Jesus Christ. For the four Sundays before Christmas, Christians worldwide for nearly 2000 years have focused their worship on Incarnation. Many churches add a midweek service that chronicles Old Testament messianic passages and the ministry of John the Baptist.
Many families use an advent calendar .
We have a fabric calendar of a Christmas tree above 24 small pockets in which are 24 different decorations that symbolize the life of Christ. The star crowns the tree on Christmas Even, December 24. Even our grown children still gather for a few minutes to add the decoration of the day, read the devotion, and pray. Another Advent activity is called the Jesus Tree or Jesse Tree. Take a bare branch with many twigs.
