The Smithson family thinks to a different beat on a few things. One being how the Christmas story is told. Steven and myself love the traditions of the Nativity story but much of the story is just that– traditions that ADD too Scripture. We personally own three Nativity sets. Steven loves to dote on the fact that they are ALL far from realistic. I must admit we have gotten into a few light-hearted “arguments” over how we want the story told to our children. Steven’s version– facts only. Mine– build the basics and then reveal the trivia later. I mean you don’t have to tell them Jesus wasn’t born in a stable when they are two!!!
Regardless, have you been able to do your research this year?? Do I have you totally bewildered by what I’m talking about??? Well here’s a little clip we loved so much we showed to the youth department this morning. Igniter Media did a great job in capturing both truth and the real meaning of Christmas in this little diddy… Enjoy!
