4 Christ By Elizabeth Thomas-Morton (D), DY4C Editor
For me, the first way I remind myself of Jesus at Christmas is by singing Christmas carols, as this is a tradition I grew up with in Romania. The words just tell the nativity story and it always makes me think back to the time when Jesus was born into our world.

I have not actually thought about celebrating Christmas...although I know it is all about Jesus… we normally sit and watch films all day and stuff junk in our mouths! It has actually made me think about how I am going to celebrate this Christmas! I will probably sing worship and maybe watch a DVD about Jesus. Angela Saltekin (D), Derby
People keep the tradition of cele brating Christmas by honouring the birt h of Jesus. Our family tradition is to bake a special birthday cake in his hon our and then gather around the cake and sing Happy Birthday to JESUS. Sing Happy Birthday to JESUS all together. Take time to remember the miracle surroun ding the birth of Jesus. Think of his gre at love and sacrifice for each one of us. He gave up his place in heaven for a tim e and came to earth to be born as a baby, who would grow up and give his life to save the world. The best part of Chr istmas is to celebrate the birth of JESUS.
