Summary
What would your children say Christmas is all about if someone asked them? It’s so hard to prevent the commercialization of Christmas from confusing little minds away from Christ. What can make it even more challenging is when you feel the need to limit your traditions that focus on Christ while being with unbelieving family at Christmas. Get encouragement and insights in how to keep CHRIST the focus with your family regardless of who’s around you. It takes a concerted effort that often feels uncomfortable to cultivate a new legacy, but it’s worth it and it’s what God has called you to do. Merry Christmas everyone, let’s make much of Jesus to our families.

| 0:01.0 | Hey guys, this week's podcast episode is awesome. It's going to be such an encouragement to you. It's all about keeping Christ the center of Christmas even when you're around non-Christians. And so this is oftentimes one of those topics that we get a lot of emails on or we get questions during the parenting mentor program. And we're so excited to be talking about on today's episode.

| 0:30.6 | watching? Do you want them to be bold for Christ? But how do you do it in a loving way? We talk |
| 0:35.4 | about all these dynamics. Plus, Angie goes over a lot of key traditions you can do to keep Christ, the center of Christmas.

| 1:24.3 | doing the Christmas season with people that are non-believers. And how do you |
| 1:28.7 | state the course? So this is an encouragement to stay to the course and whatever your traditions |
| 1:33.3 | are and proclaiming Christ and praying together and all the things. And hopefully it's helpful. |
