I wanted to be sure to share this wonderful resource for those who are new to my community. I realize it is still a bit before Thanksgiving, but for those who are planners, this is the time to get your PLAN on for Christmas activities!
Truth in the Tinsel is a wonderfully put together resource for families to share in the spirit of Christmas, while creating a tradition that can be used for several years. We took the time last year with my 3 year old to do the activities and read the scripture outlined in the book and I cannot wait to do it again this year, with him just a bit older.
Each day, during the month of December, Truth in the Tinsel provides you with a passage of Scripture to read, gives you easy to follow instructions on making a Christmas ornament correlating with the Scripture you read, and the even better part, you can purchase a packet that contains the printable ornaments. This was for those moms who are just like me – not so crafty! And the devotional gives you a chance to talk to your children about what you’ve read and more.
We enjoyed doing this right after dinner and even my older kids stayed around for the action, watching my younger one participate and create his ornaments. It was really a great family activity.
Here is Amanda giving you a run down of how to use her devotional with your family. She shares how to use the material and shows you how easy it is to get things together and make this work for your family – no matter what stage you are in!
Have you already gone through Truth in the Tinsel? If so, what’d you think about it? Will you be doing it again this year?
