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.

Families are encouraged to attend and participate in choirs, drama, poetry, and comedic activities celebrating the birth of Jesus and His impact on their lives and our world. Gifts for each person are provided by donations, corporate gifts, and the church at large.The gospel is preached!

Every year since I was small, My parents would take me to a tree farm about an hour away where a family member worked, we would pick the tree together from amongst snowy fresh air of the mountain that it was at. then we would go after to the cracker barrel about 10 minutes away from there and enjoy a nice meal together!

Its a new tradition as of this year. We will have a huge cross in the house instead of a tree, hollowed out and lit from the inside out.
