Celebrate a Religious Christmas

A lot of people don't take a lot of time to honor Jesus on Christmas, which is important to lots of people. Here's how to make your Christmas a little more religious.

Steps

 * 1) Pray. Even something as small as saying Grace before you eat can make a difference in the religiousness of your holiday. You can also pray before you open presents. But the great thing about praying is that you can do it anytime, anywhere.
 * 2) Put up religious decorations. These include mangers, mini statues, religious candles, crosses, and religious Christmas-tree ornaments. You can buy them from Bronner's, Oriental Trading, or Family Christian. You can also find online tutorials to make them if you want.
 * 3) Skip Jingle Bells and We Wish You A Merry Christmas in favor of more religious Christmas songs. Silent Night, The First Noel, Joy To The World, and Adore Him are religious Christmas favorites. Born Is The King, O Little Town Of Bethlehem, and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing are also popular religious songs. However, don't feel like you can't play Santa Claus Is Coming To Town just for fun.
 * 4) Make sure your kids are embracing the religiousness. You can put out religious crafts for them to do. Oriental Trading and All Free Christmas Crafts have some. You can also find online tutorials.
 * 5) Another way for your kids to get into the religious spirit is to pray with the adults. They might know some basic prayers, like the Our Father or the Hail Mary. If so, you can ask them to say the prayers with the adults. If not, that's okay. They can stick to doing religious crafts.
 * 6) Have your kids put on a nativity skit for the adults. It'll occupy them and help everyone get into the holiday spirit. It can also be fun to watch. The kids will probably like doing it, too.
