Celebrating Christmas

There are many ways that people in this  world choose to celebrate Christmas. I wanted to share with you all some alternative ways to enjoy the holiday. some of us get so wrapped up in owning the "next big thing" that we miss the.true meaning of Christmas. Here are some ways you can try to celebrate Christmas this year.

Count your blessings. Gather your family or guests all together in a room. Take a jar or container and pass it around with a small bowl of dry beans. The first person with the container and the bowl of beans should take 1 bean from the bowl, speak aloud.something that they are grateful for then place the bean in the jar or container. Then pass the bowl and beans to the next person until everyone has an opportunity to count one blessing.Once.completed take moment to mediate on your life and blessings. Make Christmas a time of reflection rather than gifts.

Attend Christmas plays and programs.Get out this holiday an  watch how others tell and share the story of Christmas.

Enjoy the outdoors. He  it may be cold outside, but go to a park, take a long walk by yourself or with a partner and enjoy the day.

Thrift store shopping. Try to avoid shopping malls and Christmas about more than how much you spend on a gift.

Cook or bake with others. 

These a're just a few suggestions the important thing is to take the time to enjoy the day, enjoy your loved ways and enjoy yourself.

Merry Christmas!!!
