Christmas Countdown #5

"Christmas makes me happy no matter what time of year it comes around."  -Bryan White

Christmas Countdown #4

We are Christian but for years my children have asked we get a menorah.  I did not want to do this when the were young as to not confuse them.  I have always read them One Candle by Eve Bunting.  The story of the strength of ones faith I felt was perfect for Christmas.  This year we have a menorah and we will tell stories of faith but the foundation of our Christmas will be centered in Christ.
