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:

Sonia D.
Starting after Thanksgiving we start a daily prayer at noon until we get back together for Christmas eve. On Christmas eve we come together and read the reason for the strips on the candy cane and allow the kids to ask questions about Jesus and Christmas

I didnt grow up in a Christian household, but I wanna become that difference. And one way is by praying before I eat my meals, enjoying that time with my family, and keeping God over all the presents and gifts. He is the true gift!
Tina J.
We have an advent wreath and prayers to read with each candle during the weeks leading up to Christmas that has been done in our family since I was a little girl- I cherish as a way to keep Jesus in the center of Christmas
Carmen N.
Beginning December 1st, I read a chapter of the gospel of Luke everyday. By December 24th, I've read the entire book.Just in time to celebrate Christmas!

My kids loved getting matching holiday pajamas on Christmas eve. They are all grown and they're are grandchildren now. We still do it though sometimes it's just matching t shirts.
Charlie A.
We begin Christmas day reading from Isaiah prophecy and Luke 2. We celebrate Jesus birthday and His perfect love, perfect truth and perfect fire. We open presents one at a time, and it takes hours. We celebrate Jesus' gift of salvation and share His love with each other.

Everyone must give a reason they are thankful for the sacrifice Christ made.
