To enjoy a Christ-Giving Tree, first you need to set up your Christmas tree, sans ornaments. We set ours up the second of November, directly following Halloween.

Once your tree is set up, tell your kids you are going to be gathering around the tree every day to talk about something that Christ has given us.

Then every day, your kids will get to write down a gift from God that they are grateful for and hang that item on the tree.
