One of my favorite parts about Christmas is getting Christmas cards from all our friends and family. This year I displayed them all on the door to our pantry. I love looking at them over and over.
We are going to try a new Christmas tradition this year- each night in January we will:
"Choose one Christmas card each day from those received. Read the whole card aloud and pass it around the family (we'll probably do this during dinner).
Have special prayer together for each person in the family that sent the card.
Send a postcard (I'll do an email) to the family to tell them about your prayers. They will appreciate knowing that your family prayed today for their family."
I'll let you know how it goes, but I'm really excited about it!
I got this idea from:
Dobson, Shirley and Gloria Gaither. Let’s Make a Memory, Waco:Word Books Publishers, 1983.
I love this idea and I'm going to have to check out this book! Just reading over your recent posts. Your girls are so beautiful and growing up so fast!
