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.

We are always grateful and excited to celebrate Christmas. This is when we invite our mothers and family to come together. During the gathering, we ask each person to share why they are thankful and to reflect on their powerful experiences throughout the year. We keep Christ at the forefront of our celebration. #Grateful #Thankful
