At Christmas we spend all month doing advent calendars and more to focus on Jesus.

Thank You for Jesus, Your one and only Son. A Savior set to save the world! Yes, Christmas had begun! Thank You for Jesus, Your perfect Christmas gift. - A Christmas Prayer
When God sent the King of kings, the most Royal of royals, the Savior of the world, he didn’t need purple robes, huge palaces, or royal declarations. No, this was not an earthly king, this was a heavenly King, sent to earth, “God with us,” Immanuel.

Thank You for the bright star, That shined and led the way, So wise men found and worshiped Him, as we still do today. Thank You for the bright star, Your precious Christmas gift. - A Christmas Prayer
For over two thousand years now, scientists have been trying to explain “the star in the east.”But the wise men, they needed no explanation.

Thank You for the shepherds, Who heard of Jesus' birth. They saw the angels in the sky announcing peace on earth! Thank You for the shepherds, Your precious Christmas gift. - A Christmas Prayer
When we hear the story of the shepherds, there’s that iconic scene: shepherds on a hillside,
gazing at the angels in the air, who are praising God and announcing peace on earth. What a glorious sight that must have been!

Thank You for the manger, A bed made out of hay. And thank You for the cows and sheet That shared their food that day! Thank You for the manger, Your precious Christmas gift. - A Christmas Prayer

The manger is another “extra” in the Christmas story. Just a prop in which to lay the Baby Jesus.  But I’m a firm believer that our God is a God of significance. With Him there are no accidents,
no coincidences. ]]></description>

Thank You for the donkey, That helped them all to leave, And got Mary to Bethlehem, In time for Christmas Eve! Thank You for the donkey, Your precious Christmas gift.—A Christmas Prayer
“Thank You for the donkey.” That always gets a giggle out of the kids.

Through this series of blogs, author Amy Parker is going to take us character by character through the Christmas story, highlighting the roles each of them played in bringing us the greatest Christmas Gift of all.
Thank You, God, for Joseph, who trusted Your good plan. He took Mary to be his wife. He was a faithful man. Thank You, God, for Joseph, Your precious Christmas gift. -A Christmas Prayer.
“He was a faithful man.” That’s quite the understatement, isn’t it?  We know Joseph is a good guy even before Gabriel visits him.

Thank You, God, for Mary. She let faith lead the way: "I am His servant girl," she said. "Let it be as you say." Thank You, God, for Mary, Your precious Christmas gift.
Mary is probably the second most-celebrated star of the Christmas story. And it’s no wonder.]]></description>

Thank You, God, for Gabriel, Who brought news of great joy. He said to Mary, “God chose you To have His baby boy.
While we could point to many beginnings of the Christmas story, Gabriel’s announcement to Mary sets it all in motion. This one scene amazes me.]]></description>

Today, we have Printoons creator Paula Alflen on the blog, sharing with you one of her favorite Christmas crafts! Printoons are unique characters created with your own fingerprints because no two fingerprints are alike. Children from ages 5 and up can create fun and wild artwork that is special like them just by using their ink fingerprints and a few simple lines drawn with a pen to create various characters in the stories.
