The First Christmas Story
Before going to bed on Christmas Eve, read by candlelight about the birth of Jesus in Luke, Chapter 2. Then join hands with your family and sing "Silent Night."
Christmas Pajamas
We always let the kids open one present on Christmas Eve. It's always their new pajamas. There is something special about going to bed in new pj's. This is one of the things we did growing up. It was always fun to open them even though we knew what was in the box.
Christmas Stars
As the last experience on Christmas Eve, go outside and look up at the stars. These are the same havens that the shepherds saw. Bundle up and just quietly watch the sky before going to bed. You may even want to say your bedtime prayers out there. (from the book Family Traditions by Caryl Waller Krueger)
