As part of the LIGHTtheWORLD challenge, since today’s theme is “minister unto the children” you may pick this as the night to sleep under the Christmas tree! Snuggle up with some Christmas books under the magic of the lights!
Christmas Books are a big party of our Family Christmas Time. We read them day and night. We have a variety of books we read. Some books are just fun and silly and many are Christ Centered but all teach of kindness, service or love. We have gone to Family Stories at the Local Library and our library has a sign-up sheet for volunteering to read some Christmas books to the children on certain days. Many children and family shelters love to have volunteers to read stories to the children who stay at the shelter. I am really looking forward to do this with my family this year.

What are your favorite Christmas Books?
Jesus Christ loves all his children and wants each of them to feel loved and appreciated. He wants them to feel the hope and joy. I am excited to share that love and joy with my own family and others.
