Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign: The maiden will conceive and bear a son, and call him Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:14 | NV
In this time, sharing family traditions and transmitting the importance of giving and receiving love, being supportive, feeding the spirit and enjoying the little things in life, become the best gift we can offer our loved ones . It is a time to renew faith in God, love others, and uphold love and peace. For this, it is essential to share values with children and teach them that happiness is not only in gifts and material gifts. The main thing is to enjoy with joy and spirituality. Transmit to your children the message of renewal of faith and the joy that accompanies the Christmas traditions.
These are ways to cultivate the spirit and find happiness inside each one. Reflect and pray together, talk about the meaning of Christmas in different religious traditions, tell anecdotes about the celebration of these traditions in the family, are a way to strengthen the Christmas spirit. In addition, it is time to share with loved ones and to give, not just to receive.
Christmas is a time of customs that invite us to participate in a message of love and dedication. Encourage your children to think about others without limiting themselves to close friends or acquaintances. Teach them to share with those who need it, to be supportive and to be willing to give selflessly. Do not obsess about the gift list. What we ask from our heart has great value. For example the health of a relative the welfare of friends or live in harmony.
Additionally, not all gifts that are made at Christmas must be purchased. You can give a card or make an invitation to eat. In the face of the changes of the modern world, many of these traditions have been lost. Indeed, many children seem oblivious to the family rituals of yesteryear. These family celebrations create emotional bonds of love and joy.
So take the opportunity to rescue, with your children, traditions such as singing Christmas carols, making recipes and exchanging them with neighbors, telling Christmas stories, making crafts or playing bonuses. Above all, a loving, generous and cheerful attitude is the best thing to transmit to children.
