I am grateful to the various sites from where I picked up ideas for the write-ups, images and videos that happened to touch my heart while preparing myself and my children on this Advent journey in faith .. I have tried giving credits where I could.. I have tailored the materials accordingly to suit my needs. My sincere apologies if I have not given due credit in all places. - Sabrina D'Mello
Countdown to
Christmas ...

Reflection
Zechariah
has been silent for nine months, and now he has his speech back. If it was you,
what is the first thing you would talk about? Wouldn’t it be your child you had
waited and prayed for so long? But we know that this is truly Spirit
inspired prophecy because the focus is on the unborn Jesus and not his new born
son John. Zechariah finally expresses the pent-up thoughts of the long
months of silence and shares his amazement at how God had come to visit
him.
Zechariah doesn't even know Jesus, yet he praises Him. We know so much about Jesus then why this coldness of our heart. Let us gloriously rejoice for love has been born and we too cannot keep that excitement within us for too long. Let's show the world our joyfulness.
Christmas
Symbol :
Elves
Elves are known to
be tiny, dwarf-like creatures, with pointed ears. They are youthful but
immortal, have magical powers that can control what you see and experience and
are often mischievous in nature. The Scandinavians are the ones who created the
association between Santa Claus and the elves. They are known as Santa’s little
helpers who help Santa to design toys, process toy requests, take care of
Santa's reindeer and so on.
Today, have fun
pretending to be Santa’s little elves as you wrap Christmas presents. You may
even want to create your own wrapping paper by coloring or sponge painting
large sheets of butcher paper for a personal effect.
Prayer
Lord,
giver of all things, let me give cheerfully this year, not as the world gives,
but as You would have me give, not expecting anything in return. Amen.
Let’s sing along with
this carol -
That's Christmas to
me(Credits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XQ75Ak61c0)
Hey Santa, if I am good at being naughty which list do I go on ?.
