We hand out presents, usually Christian books, or music... have a feast, read the Bible together, invite lots of people over to join the fun, sing around the piano, pray together, play games etc...we try to make it bigger than Christmas - cause how cool is it that Jesus is alive!! We've been doing it for about 8 years, and the kids love it.<br /><br />We also celebrate Thanksgiving, Australian style. Andrew is half American, so there is some cultural heritage, but we don't really talk much about the American history, or significance - we just have a night of thanking God for things, praying through a psalm, etc. We didn't do it last year, or the year before, but we're thinking it may happen this year.<br /><br />We also sing a lot as a family. We play games at the dinner table like - high/low, or quiz games - name five different types of snakes, name four different types of frogs etc... not every family would be into that, but we like it!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197628297062514455noreply@blogger.com
