The First Christmas
When you think about Christmas, what comes to mind? Presents? Lights? Christmas cards? Santa Claus? Christmas carols? I think of all of those things, but I try very hard to keep my focus on the first Christmas.
Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Christ. It is about recognizing the first time Jesus’ came to Earth.
And, the month of December is a time of Advent–waiting. What are we waiting for? The birth of Jesus.
For me, Christmas is about celebrating Jesus coming to Earth.
Card Details
The front of this card focuses on the stars. Those bright Heavenly lights and the one special star that announced the birth of Jesus and led the way for those to celebrate Him.
I used both the embossing folder and die cuts from the Stars at Night set. And, I embossed directly on O Holy Night Designer Series Paper.
The front of this card represents Christmas lights. Yes, there were lights even on that first Christmas night. The Heavens were celebrating.
When you open the card, you will see a pop-up representation of the nativity. There in the stable are Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus, surrounded by animals and visitors to see the baby.
How do you keep the first Christmas in the front of your celebrations during this month?
