Names of Christ Tree

In the scriptures we read of many different names for Christ. It is wonderful to remember the innocent babe born in a stable, but even more important to think of the life and mission of Christ. The names for Christ found in the scriptures help us understand the breadth and meaning of His gift to us.

Our children helped pick out some of the names and we wrote down the name with the corresponding scripture on red paper ornaments and used red satin ribbon to hang them with. They are gathered in a basket and each morning we will read the scripture and hang an ornament on a small, simple tree. Here are the names and scriptures that we use, but there are so many others that are beautiful as well.

Keeping Christ In Christmas

Source

Welcome to our blog where we strive to share ideas and traditions that are centered around Christ!

With all of the hustle and bustle and commercialism that is rampant at this time of year, we hope to create a little haven where we can share ideas that will help us focus more on the true reason for our celebrations.

Whether we want to plan activites for our families that remind us of the birth and life of the Savior, or just find a quiet moment of inspiration to bring some peace to a harried day-we hope to make this a helpful source. We would be delighted to hear from you if you would share your family traditions that turn your hearts to Christ, or if you run across anything on the internet to share. Our hope is to make the holiday season a little more Holy and to knit our family closer to Christ and to each other.

Let's begin planning now to keep Christ in Christmas!
