A Family Together: Christmas Presence
The word Christmas often brings to mind the word presents. Of
course, Christmas IS a time when we give and receive presents.
Christmas presents are one of the symbols of the season, which
celebrates a very special presence—Jesus in our midst!
Here are some other words we associate with the Advent and
Christmas Seasons. Using a green highlighter or crayon, mark
each word or words in this grid. When you finish, you will have
created a familiar symbol of Christmas. Then add final touches
to the symbol, especially one at the top!
