Why do we go to church on Christmas Eve?
From Special Times by Betty Jo Middleton
& Long Ago and Many Lands by Sophia Fahs

Goal:
To know the traditional Christmas story of the birth of Jesus as a source of joy and wonder. Also, to gain a UU understanding of Christmas that “each night a child is born is a holy night.”

Preparation: Read Background

Activities:
1. Read: “The Story of the Birth of Jesus” or
“The Birth of Jesus”

2. Family albums: Get out family albums that show pictures of when your children were born, and when you were born, if you have them. Talk about your feelings on “the night” your child was born.
