Christ Centered 12 Days of Christmas


So, I must be on a 12 Days of Christmas kick this year, but I wanted to share with you the 12 Days of Christmas that we like to do for neighbors. It is a fun way to remember the reason for the season. I will give you some gift ideas that I came up with, but anything that goes along with the theme will be great!

On the first day of Christmas, Jesus Christ gave sight to the blind.
Gift: Christmas Movie

On the second day of Christmas Jesus Christ was the light of the world.
Gift: Candle/ Flashlight

On the third day of Christmas Jesus Christ healed the sick.
Gift: Operation Game

On the fourth day of Christmas Jesus Christ gave the gift of charity, the pure love of Christ.
Gift: Heart shaped cookies or heart shaped ornament

On the fifth day of Christmas Jesus Christ fed 5,000 with 2 loaves of bread and fish.

On the sixth day of Christmas Jesus Christ made the deaf to hear.
