Ways to Explain the Meaning of Christmas
Christmas is becoming more and more commercialized. No wonder many kids (and even adults) only associate Christmas with taking a holiday, receiving gifts and Santa Claus.

Christmas is more than just that. And it is important for us to teach our children the real meaning of Christmas.

Here are few tips on how to explain to a little child the meaning of Christmas:

Show the manger scene and tell the story of how jesus was born... the story of Christmas.

Teach the gift of giving. Explain that not all children are lucky to have parents like you. Ask your child to help you look for a toy which an underprivileged child might enjoy. Bring your child along when you bring the toy to any Toys for Tots drop off point.

Bring out your inner Martha Stewart and help your child make their own cards and gifts for their friends and cousins.

Any other suggestions?
