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.

Our family tradition is to sit and sing christmas songs and carols.We also tell stories and laugh and spend quality time together.Miss my grandmother since she passed away things have not been the same and also my father died. But all and all the true meaning of Christmas is Christ and not material things.

Gathering of family all coming together under one roof, bringing your favorite dish or desert and spreading the joy.

Praying and worshipping as a family before eating and opening gifts, if any. We learned very early that Jesus is ALWAYS the reason for the season.
