Christmas Breakfast Tradition

A special Christmas traditions we have: I make a special Christmas breakfast of fruit and crepes. When I set the table, I put a small creche in the middle of the table with one tall candle. Then each place is set with a small votive candle. The tall candle is lit and before we eat we explain how the light of love came into the world when Christ was born. Then my husband lights his light from the big one and tells how he will let his light of love shine.

Then each member takes turns lighting their candle from each other and explaining how they too will let their light shine. This is very special and the children have enjoyed lighting each others light and pledging to be a light of love for everyone.
