Come Unto Christ this Christmas Countdown

Every year we are becoming more and more into the commercial side of Christmas. Instead of doing a Candy countdown to Christmas, I started a couple of years ago doing a service count down that the whole family could do. So print these up, cut them in strips, and put them in your countdown thing, or make a paper chain and attach the nativity picture at the bottom on top. Everyday you get together as a family and read one of the slips. At the end of the day you talk about what results you got or what you did. Its fun and pretty easy.


Do something nice for your dad




Let Heavenly Father know how much you love him




Help your Mom with something she is doing




Take time to think about someone & what you could do for them






Share your testimony with someone




Give something of yours to someone who might need it more



Help someone who is sad



Be obedient every time your mom or dad asks you to do something



Put away your shoes every time you take them off without being asked



Help someone do something



Pray for someone else



Think of something to do for your grandparents



Be a friend to someone you don’t usually play with



Forgive someone who may have hurt your feelings



Share something you like very much



Do something nice for your mom



Say you are sorry if you do something wrong, before mom reminds you to



Write a letter or draw a picture to tell someone how much you love them



Comfort someone who gets hurt or is sad



Do 5 jobs around the house without being asked



Teach someone the things you know about Jesus



Make someone feel special by saying nice things to them throughout the day



Think about having Jesus by your side all day. Would you act any different?



Play nice with your brothers and sisters



Use nice words and be considerate of their feelings



Honor Jesus Christ This Year, By Becoming More Like Him
