• Do a Christmas puzzle as a family but remove some of the pieces. Tie it to the devotional above. Then bring out the missing pieces to make the puzzle complete. • Go to look at Christmas lights. Discuss that Jesus is the “Light of the world.” • Eat dinner by candlelight and soft music. Talk about things that are “peaceful”. • Name someone who is hard to enjoy. Pray for that person and leave a secret surprise for them with a note. • God gave Jesus many names. Read Isaiah 9:2,6. Ask everyone to tell their favorite name and why. • Tell about a time you walked in the dark. Give it a try. How did you feel? How can Jesus help you when you feel that way? • Play ‘Separation Anxiety’ Minute to Win It Game. Each participant needs a cup full of the same number of various holiday candies. Sort the candies by type in under sixty seconds without dumping them out and using only one hand.
