It is so easy for children to focus on the "getting" part of Christmas . . . what gifts will they "get"? What activities will they "get" to do? How many parties will they "get" to go to? The list goes on. But, Christmas is really about giving, God gave His Son to us! Well . . . I guess it is also about "getting" as we are the ones who "get" to receive the gift of Grace and forgiveness from God!
So, I took a look on Pinterest and found a great ornament - one which is simple to make, inexpensive to make, and one which shares the Reason for the Season - God gave!!! All you need are clothespins, paint, twine, and glue. Gather the supplies, your grandchildren, and have fun making these ornaments together. Then, take them to whomever you have decided to give them to and give your grandchildren a chance to focus on giving! Enjoy!
