Christmas is a time of gratitude. A time when we not only remember the wonderful gift Jesus gave when He came down to Earth that very first Christmas, but also when we can celebrate the many blessings that fill our lives. We can use this Christmas to show gratitude by remembering some of the blessings that took place this year.
You will need:
Print and color the Christmas tree and baubles (pages 2–4). Cut out the tree and baubles, then place the tree on a wall where you can see it easily. Put the baubles in an envelope near the tree. Each day take out one bauble and write something you are thankful for that happened this past year. For example, if your grandparents visited this year, you can write, “Grandma and Grandpa visited.” You can write down your gratitude for a new friend or family member, trips or outings you went on, new things you learned—anything that brought you happiness. Then tape or glue the bauble onto one of the spots on the tree. Continue each day leading up to Christmas.
Use this Christmas to remember the many blessings that fill your days, and thank Jesus for the joy He brings to you.
