Everyone writes down the page the word “Christmas” then has to come up with as many presents as possible that they could give to other people beginning with each letter. (e.g. cd player, hat & scarf set)
Or
Everyone comes up with three presents they are going to give – and then they have to draw them for others to guess what they are!

Worship
Think of all the ways that the world would be different if God had never sent Jesus into the world.
Eg Christmas! The date, sacrifice system, churches, education, slavery, salvation etc etc
Encourage people to be thankful for some of these things.
Word
Read Luke 2:8-
It was personal!
What was surprising about the characters in this account? (the shepherds and angels)
Why do you think the shepherds were chosen?
Who else did the angels give their message to?
It is personal! It is still given to each one of us!
It was universal!
Who was the message for?
What difference does this make?
Are we more important than anyone else?
Should we tell others?
It was at a specific time!
Why do we need to celebrate Christmas every year?
What is important about today / this year? (the Saviour can be born in us today!)
It was timeless!
Why did people need a saviour then?
Why do we need one now?
What will change before the end of time?
Witness
Pray for each other:
That we remember the real reason for the season of Christmas!
That we can be good witnesses to our friends
