What are some ways that you can promote the spirituality of Christmas?

It is extremely important to keep Christ in everything we do during Christmas since he is truly the reason for the season. Christ should always be the center of the Christmas. You can promote the spirituality of Christmas by: • Reading a daily Advent devotional. • Reading the story of Jesus’ birth to remember the hardships Mary and Joseph went through, as well as the happiness that was felt in welcoming “the king” into the world. • Putting up a Nativity or even visiting a nativity. • Being a part of the school Christmas program • Attending Christmas Mass with family is the best way to promote the spirituality of Christmas. Merry CHRISTmas and God Bless! BC
