the reason we teach this unit

Christmas is the favorite time of year for most children. They have a great admiration for this time of year. It is very easy for them to get lost or confused among secular celebrations, so they need a clear teaching of what Christmas really means. They must know that God is the supreme example of one who gives when he gave us his only Son, Jesus Christ. They will also learn that the greatest joy of Christmas is to give their love to Jesus and to people. We celebrate the best gift ever given: God gave us his Son Jesus Christ! Encourage them to give an important gift to Jesus: their own life. Take advantage of these lessons so that your children surrender their lives to the Lord.
