Got Fruit - You'll love these pairs!

We asked The Urban Alternative family to share some of the activities and traditions they do with their families during Christmas to focus their hearts and minds on Jesus in the midst of a busy season—and you delivered.

We come from all around the world, from different backgrounds and experiences, but one thing unites us all: our love for Jesus. Enjoy this virtual album, full of Christ-centered holiday traditions from the TUA family, and be encouraged. You may just find a new tradition of your own to try out this year.

HERE’S HOW OUR TUA FAMILY IS
KEEPING CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS:

Jamiel R.
Our family tradition is to take turns reading the book "The Purpose of Christmas" by Max Lucado as a family, while we share delicious Christmas cookies.
Marilyn G.
Sitting with the family around the Christmas tree and sharing with the family about the birth of Jesus and what He has done for us.
Stephanie B.
Every Christmas Eve morning we have a Christmas tea for all the women and girls. I have breakfast food and also a basket of gifts that they share. A time of laughter and family time.
Kara B.
All the kids get a Christmas Eve box with a pair of pjs, a snack and a Christmas book center around Christ.
Tiefernie C.
Gingerbread house contest and telling the story of Jesus Birth by the fireplace with hot cocoa.
DARLENE B.
Remembering why we celebrate Christmas and singing Happy Birthday to Jesus before any gifts or stockings are opened
Sophonie J.
Christmas for my family and I is extra special. I grew up this way but now we get to make our own traditions. That is waking up and spending Christmas together as a family. Families don't always get to spend all days of the week together and eat together so we do this in a big way on Christmas, from breakfast to dinner. It's extra special!
Lisa S.
My favorite tradition is my husband reading Christmas story to my children and now my grandchildren on Christmas
Jennifer D.
Read the Christmas story . Have Christmas blessings for all grandkids we did this when or kids was five years old then they will have there last blessing when they are 20
