The Reason for the Season

While not all of us are able or allowed to talk of the TRUE meaning of Christmas in the classroom, it's important that we never forget it. 

Jesus is the reason for the season. But, with all of the commercialism in today's Christmas world, the real meaning of Christmas is sometimes lost. 

For those who are looking for some simple resources to help teach this message, I am including a few links below! 

Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
