The Giving Manger, by Allison Hottinger & Lisa Kalberer
This year, you can experience the true meaning of Christmas in a whole new way with The Giving Manger, a faith-based interactive family tradition that encourages acts of kindness, focuses on giving rather than getting, and honors the real reason for Christmas, the birth of Jesus.
The Giving Manger, the included picture book, will help your family grasp the tradition and get little ones excited about participating. Once you have read the story, set the empty manger in a prominent location in your home. In the days leading up to Christmas, family members can add a piece of straw to the manger each time they perform a kind deed or act of service. Filling the manger will become a fun project for your family, encouraging group participation, creativity, and even getting young kids interested in looking for ways to serve others.
As your family learns to work together to fill the manger with straw, your hearts and home will fill with the joy and contentment that comes not from long wish lists and opening presents, but from giving and loving others. On Christmas Day, your family can place the Baby Jesus in the manger, now filled with the straw that represents the acts of love and service done in honor of His birth.
