Each year at Christmas, our family takes time to create a names of Jesus tree. During our evening devotions in December, we set aside time to really focus in on the names and stations of Jesus and how that impacts our view of the entire Christmas season. Years ago, we found a beautiful set of ornaments that we use for our tree, but they are no longer in production, so this would make a great project for you to do with your children. Create ornaments to go with each of the names of Jesus included on this sheet.

I am also including a super easy Advent reading schedule for your family to use as part of your devotions this month. These passages are short enough that even the youngest can gain a lot from them. With older children, use this time to really explore the passages and talk about how they change our perception of this amazing season when we celebrate that the “Word became flesh and dwelt among us…” How can it be?
