Merry Christmas!!

We will be taking the week off here, at A Faith Perspective, to celebrate the holidays. I just wanted to wish you and your family all of the rich blessings that Christ has intended for His children this holiday season!!

Merry Christmas!!

Layout of the Week

Look at the lovely layout that ScrappyVicky added to our gallery!! Isn't is wonderful! I love the journaling in a half circle, and the title with its different lettering. Great job!! Thanks for sharing it with us!

I had to share this- it is amazing! I love Casting Crowns- they are one of my favorite groups. So, when I heard this song, I fell in love!! Hope this helps remind you of the Reason!!

Chime In!!

Tell us about how your family celebrates Christmas Eve. I would love to hear about any special traditions you might have!!

Around our house, we have a lasagna dinner, head to church, watch the movie The Nativity, and just spend the evening together. Lovely!

Ideas, please!!

As we come up on the end of the year, it is a good time to reflect. I am taking a look at this blog, and wondering: what would you like out of the blog? Are there resources that would help you? More community? More/fewer updates? Now is your chance- I would LOVE your input!! What would you like to see added or changed about this blog?

Page Prompt

Christmas is all about traditions and family. Your prompt, this week, is to scrap a page telling about how your families traditions. What do you do special, this time of year? Do you have traditions to help you celebrate Christ in Christmas? I would love to see these pages! Be sure to upload them to our gallery when you are done!!

Our blog, A Faith Perspective, is our extension of that column.

Today, I have decided to point you over to the FaithSisters. They have had the niftiest set of Christmas challenges going on over there- it is an entire series. The series, itself, is a story...so, if you do the whole thing, you will have quite the keepsake!!
