Teach Children the Real Meaning of Christmas (Christian)

Christmas is all kinds of fun: presents, food, Santa Claus, but there's one thing that makes it Christmas. The spirit and history of the holiday. You, as a parent, may know that, but your kids or young friends might not. Christmas can be fun and serious at the same time by approaching it correctly.

Sure, they think it's awesome because school may be out, snow, and relaxation, but that's nothing compared to... Jesus! Jesus (Christ) is the true meaning of Christmas. Family, and remembering what happened that night in Bethlehem.[[Image:Say Thank You to Gifts at Your Birthday Party Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 8) Tell the children about Jesus as the giver of life, healer, and about their wrongs (sins) and hurts, and about Christ meaning as the Savior and Lord of all.

 * 9) * Ask the children to always be kind, believe in and trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior -- who takes away bad feelings, heals and forgives all the wrong stuff that you, they or anyone may do. If they are able to understand and receive that part of the real meaning of the Christ of Christmas, not only at Christmastime (but anytime), then help them to do that...
