25 Days of Christ – Ornament Kit Giveaway!

October 30, 2013 151 Comments Holly & Nat

I know we all have a different holiday on our minds, but it’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas! We found out about this great Christmas tradition last year and have been excited to share it with you ever since! The 25 Days of Christ is a kit to make 25 symbolic Christmas ornaments that celebrate the life of Christ. 

Every year I set out to make sure our family focuses more on the Savior then on all the other stuff. I love the other stuff, don’t get me wrong…but sometimes when the presents are all unwrapped and the season ends I feel like we missed the real meaning. 
This kit is going to be a perfect way to get my kids excited about learning about the life of Jesus Christ – through scriptures, songs, and stories. It includes a booklet with the reading for each day. The ornaments come unfinished but include all the fabric, etc you need to complete them (besides paint and glue.) I am planning on making mine, but since Holly’s kids are a little older she is going to have them help! What a great family activity!
Now, here’s the deal – these kits are already SOLD OUT for 2013. Right now, you can put your name on a waitlist for a kit for next year. Wondering why we’re posting about it then?
They saved one kit for us to giveaway
to one of our fabulous readers!

    We don’t have many solid Christmas traditions, but we do go caroling (with treats) every year to those who have served us in church throughout the year. Would love to find something good, just for our family, that we can hang on to every year.

    My favorite Christmas tradition is writing letters to Christ on Christmas Eve. It helps us to keep the focus on what Christmas is really about. Since Christmas is celebrating Christ’s birth, we write letters to Him to tell him what gifts we would like to give him this coming year (getting along better with siblings, more dedicated to scripture study, more Christ centered, etc.) We seal them and and place them in a special gold box. We open the letters the following year and read over them to evaluate how we have done before writing a new one.

    I love reading your blog! I especially love that you are sisters because I just started a blog with my daughter (literally like a week ago). We’re still brand new and still have a lot of work on the site but would love it if you check us out!

    What an awesome idea! Thanks for letting us know about this. Our favorite tradition is probably on Christmas Eve. We all write down what our gift to Jesus will be that upcoming year (Some sort of service, a determination to become kinder, read scriptures more faithfully etc.) and of course acting out the nativity.

I am on the waiting list for next year as I need 4 sets. It would be so amazing to start this year with this kit and next year send one to each home. I have never seen these and want to say THANK YOU for posting. As much as I hope I win your set this year I know my grandkids will enjoy them for many many years to come…I can see them now reading and hanging the correct one each day…what a joy to share the love of Jesus with your children and grand children!

    My favorite tradition is one we started when I was young. We went to Christmas Eve service, and almost every year when we left the evening service it would be lightly snowing. Instead of driving straight home, we would drive around looking at Christmas lights. When we did get home, our driveway was lit (like the others in our neighborhood) with luminaries–white lunchbags with a little bit of sand inside them—-the sand held the candle that was lit, and the whole bag looked as if it were a light.

    Since my 6 year old daughter was 2 my mom and I have been taking her to The Lady of the Snows Shrine which has a light display about the journey to Jesus’ birth, we started taking my now 4 year old son when he turned 2 also and I can’t wait to take my youngest next year when she’s 2. It’s just a great night to really see what Christmas is truly about.

    I am wondering if you have ever considered selling the book alone as you are sold out of the kits. I would love to have a guide – I would scour the stores for the items myself. Just a thought!
