Birthday Party for Jesus

This is our third year having our "Birthday Party for Jesus". I stole this idea from someone, I'm not even sure who it was. On the last Friday night before Christmas we set the table with our china and goblets and have a fancy dinner. The kids choose the menu. This year we had turkey steak, real mashed potatoes with gravy, frozen corn from our garden, and brownies with peppermint ice cream for dessert. We set goals for the coming year of things we will do that will draw us closer to the Savior. These are the gifts we give Him for His birthday. I love this tradition. I feel like at least one night during the month of December we really focus on the true meaning of Christmas. It has been a good thing for our family to do. It also gets the china out of the cupboard once a year!!
