As the holiday season approaches, we are reminded of the joy that comes with being able to spend time with our loved ones. It's a time for family traditions and making memories. One way to bring meaning to the season is by incorporating religious traditions into your holiday festivities. In this blog post, we'll look at four family Advent traditions that can inspire and strengthen your faith. We have also included some Christian gift ideas from Gifts With Love to make the season extra special.
Lighting the Advent Wreath
The Advent wreath is a powerful symbol of the waiting and anticipation of Jesus' birth. Each Sunday leading up to Christmas, a candle is lit to represent each of the four themes of Advent: hope, love, joy, and peace. Gifts With Love has a variety of unique Christian gifts like Advent candles and decor that would make your Advent wreath a standout!
The Jesse Tree
The Jesse Tree is a fun and interactive way for kids to learn about the biblical history of the season. Each day leading up to Christmas, you read a story from the Bible and hang a corresponding ornament on a tree. Gifts With Love has a variety of religious gift ideas (ornaments and decorating materials) to help you create your own Jesse Tree tradition.
Christmas Service Project
Serving your community is a great way to remind everyone in the family about the reason for the season. You can volunteer at a local shelter or hospital or organize a food drive for those in need. As for Christian gift ideas, there are plenty of inspirational gifts for friends and family members who also want to give back. Gifts With Love has a variety of personalized and unique Christian gifts like bookmarks, journals, and prayer cards!
Nativity Scene
A Nativity Scene is an old and beloved tradition. It celebrates the birth of Jesus by displaying a nativity set. Displaying one in your home can serve as an important visual reminder that Christmas is about more than just gifts and decorations. Gifts With Love has a host of unique Christian gifts that would be perfect to include in your nativity scene this year.
