The Adventure of Christmas: Helping Children Find Jesus in Our Holiday Traditions (Hardcover) by Lisa Whelchel, Jeannie Mooney (Illustrator)
Book Description
The ADVENTure of Christmas is a guide for moms concerned that their children are losing sight of Jesus in the midst of the distractions the holiday season brings. Lisa Whelchel was such a mom, but instead of abandoning the traditions of Christmas she rediscovered their original meanings, which were intended to remind people of God's unfathomable gift. Hanging lights on the house, wrapping gifts, and decorating the tree have become opportunities to teach her children about how they relate to Jesus' birth. With The ADVENTure of Christmas, mothers can redeem what's been lost from the very symbols that are gentle reminders of the true meaning of Christmas.
Reason why I recommend this book...
I love the way this book explains the history behind all the different things we do at Christmas. Like, why is it that we have Pine trees as our Christmas tree? What do the different colour candles on our Advent Wreath mean? There is something to discover for every day of advent.
