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:

Josie T.
Attending midnight candlelight services and singing Silent Night with the lights off using only the candles
Kristy B.
The entire family gathering around to hear my grandfather read Luke 2 prior to Christmas celebration every year. Even though he has passed on to heaven, the tradition continues.
Tim B.
Building ginger bread houses.
Melissa B.
Reading through scripture that speaks of Christ's birth and singing the old traditional songs that emphasize the scripture. Our kids then help place out our manger scene.
Audrey P.
Mother, the matriarch of our family, reads aloud Luke chapter 2, the story of Jesus birth in Bethlehem.
Jonathan F.
Setting out a 43 yr-old ceramic figures (intact) nativity & having a child tell (from memory) & direct the story & set up. We all gather around for this special time & pray.
Elvin T.
Go to church
Darrick H.
Getting together with my family and reminiscing on old times cooking a ham and some sides with it like Parker house rolls and greens and potato salad and macaroni and cheese along with a red velvet cake, pecan pie and a lemon chess pie and sharing this fellowship with close friends.
Terri B.
With family spread all over the country, we have a Christmas Zoom party where we play games and open the gifts from our Secret Santa we received through Elfster.During the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas we send old photos in our group text as a way to remind us that we have a lifetime of memories together.
