10 Ways to Keep Christ in Christmas
The number one way to keep Jesus Christ in your Christmas celebrations is to have
him present in your daily life. Keeping Christ in Christmas is more about the way you
live your life than the things you say—such as "Merry Christmas" versus "Happy
Holidays." Keeping Christ in Christmas means daily revealing the character, love and
spirit of Christ that dwells in you, by allowing these traits to shine through your actions.
Here are simple ways to keep Christ the central focus of your life this Christmas season.
1) Give God one very special gift just from you to him:
Let this gift be something personal that no one else needs to know about, and let it be a sacrifice. Maybe
your gift to God will be to forgive someone you've needed to forgive for a long time. You may discover that
you've given a gift back to yourself. Perhaps your gift will be to commit to spending time with God daily.
Or maybe there is something God has asked you to give up, like last New Year's resolution. Make this your
most important gift of the season.
2) Set aside a special time to read the Christmas story:
Consider reading this account with your family and discussing it together.
3) Set up a Nativity scene in your home.
4) Plan a project of good will this Christmas:
A few years ago we "adopted" a single mom. My friend was barely making ends meet and didn't have
money to buy gifts for her small child. Together with my husband's family we bought gifts for both of them
and replaced her broken down washing machine the week of Christmas. Do you have an elderly neighbor
in need of home repairs or yard work? Find someone with a genuine need, involve your whole family and
see how happy you can make someone this Christmas.
5) Take a group Christmas caroling in a nursing home:
One year the staff at the office where I worked decided to incorporate Christmas caroling at a nearby
nursing home into our yearly staff Christmas party plans. We all met first at the nursing home and toured
the facility while singing Christmas carols. Afterwards, we headed back to our party with our hearts full of
tenderness. It was the best staff Christmas party we'd ever had.
6) Give a surprise gift of service to each member of your family:
Jesus taught us that it is "more blessed to give than to receive." The idea of giving an unexpected gift of
service to members of your family is to demonstrate Christ-like love and service. You might consider giving
a back rub to your spouse, running an errand for your brother, or cleaning out a closet for your mother.
Make it personal and meaningful and watch the blessings multiply.
7) Set aside a time of family devotions on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning:
Before opening the gifts, take a few minutes to gather together as a family in prayer and devotions. Read
a few Bible verses and discuss as a family the true meaning of Christmas.
8) Attend a Christmas church service together with your family:
If you are alone this Christmas or don't have family living near you, invite a friend or a neighbor to join you.
9) Send Christmas cards that convey a spiritual message:
This is an easy way to share your faith at Christmastime. If you've already bought the reindeer cards—no
problem! Just write a Bible verse and include a personal message with each card.
10) Write a Christmas letter to a missionary:
This idea is dear to my heart because I spent four years on the mission field. Receiving a letter always felt
like opening a priceless gift on Christmas morning, no matter what day it was. Many missionaries are
unable to travel home for the holidays, so it can be a very lonely time for them. Write a special Christmas
letter to a missionary of your choice, thanking them for giving their life in service to the Lord. Trust me—it
will mean more than you can imagine!
