There was one house in Denver that we stopped at every year. The home owners had turned their entire backyard into a Santa’s workshop, full of trains and lights, and even a sleigh.
They also passed out free hot chocolate to anyone brave enough to get out of their snug warm cars into the frigid air. This is something that I continue to do with our family.
It’s the simplest tradition, really. And I got it from one of my companions in the Missionary Training Center in the Domincan Republic. It’s something she and her family did each year:
Most people read Luke 2 on Christmas Eve – many families with young children even act out the Nativity. However, Christ is so much more than His birth! We need to keep Christ in Christmas.
