Italian Christmas Values

  I think it is fair to say much of society regards Christmas more of a party event then a celebration about a very important event... the birth of Jesus Christ. Here are some ideas or suggestions to help put the meaning back into Christmas for you on a personal level regardless of society around you.
   
  Idea #1: Read the Story.
  Idea #2: Buy ornaments/decorations about His birth.
  Idea #3: Have a big star on the tree or above your door as a reminder of the Star of David.
  Idea #4: Limit family gift giving so it doesn't take the focus off of Christ's birth.
  Idea #5: Make a birthday cake for Jesus with your kids.
 

Idea #6: Read Christmas hymns out load at dinner time, they make great poetry. Buy a book of christmas hymns.

  Idea #7: Celebrate Christmas on Christmas eve as well as Christmas Day.
  Idea #8: Learn to Sing Silent Night in Italian.
  Idea #9: Listen to Christmas Hymns on Christmas morning to set the focus.
  Idea #10: Think or meditate on the meaning of Christ's birth and how it can or has changed your life.
