Making Changes to Make Christmas Better

Ironically, our annual celebration of the birth of Christ has become our most indulgent, commercial, and stressful time of the year. But Christmas is worth saving. Join the families in our community who have committed to make 1 change in each of three areas this Christmas: Spend Less, Give More, and Worship Fully. Scroll down to see the posts for ideas in each area, and make your own suggestions that may be helpful to other families. The posts will be continually updated over the next couple of weeks as ideas come in. This could be the best Christmas you've ever had.

Many thanks to the following for inspiration and leadership in this area:

• Luke 2; Hebrews 13; 1 Timothy 6; Exodus 20
• Morgan Spurlock's excellent documentary film, "What Would Jesus Buy?"
