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:

Jakalynn L.
Reading Lukes version of the birth of Jesus. Luke 2:1-21 as a family beginning at 11:45p.m.-12:00a.m. Christmas Eve. Also the Christian significance of the story of the candy cane, Christmas tree and gifts.
Janice W.
Attending the Christmas Eve mass at our church.
Amy s.
Singing happy birthday to Jesus with a candle in a doughnut or muffin before opening gifts. We Also had stuffed nativity set for the kids to move around closer to the tree. We Did devos before opening the advent calendar. My husband always takes the kids out to breakfast Christmas eve, and then shopping for my stocking stuffers.
Brenda A.
We pray and thank God for his goodness and to see another Christmas.
Howard F.
Opening our Xmas stockings. Surprise, surprise, alway very happy well we open it.
Yamileth C.
I am from the Republic of Panam we celebrate Christmas Eve. We stay up until midnight, at midnight we sing Happy Birthday Jesus, pray and open presents. We wake up any sleeping children.My husband was from Puerto Rico , they celebrate three kings day on January 6th and they put grass in a little box for the camels
Irma C.
We make memories instead of the traditional celebration. We do not give gifts to one another. We give the gift of thanksgiving to God and one another. We select a destination and just go and enjoy the blessing of family. So, the kids realize it's not about the gifts under the tree, but THE GIFT: JESUS CHRST that hung on the tree.

For the Christmas holiday which is different now that our children are grown and gone, me and my husband wake early have breakfast and attend church services. After church is when we either are invited over to family and friends or they may come over to exchange gifts, dinner and have family fellowship.
Michelle G.
Church together as a family,prayer together as a family, cooking and eating together and spending time focusing on Christ for this special day.
