A neat activity to help prepare kids is the book What God Wants for Christmas. It is a poem book and comes with 7 little gifts they open and reuse. You open a present every day and on the 7th day is the gift God wants. It is not only a book but a little nativity scene that the kids can put together. Very neat book and activity to help kids think about God in the giving season.

You are so real and make yourself so transparent to everyone around you and those of us who read your blog! I can totally relate to this particular most. It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle & bustle of Christmas. I really think it saddens the heart of Jesus and grieves His spirit when we leave Him out! I have 3 little ones ages 6-19 months and I feel so strongly that this is the year to make sure they really see Christ in Christmas! I am going to join you and Joel on this challenge and I'm excited!
