In the past I have always done a traditional Christmas tree. It seems that every year that goes by Christmas becomes more and more commercialized. I was starting to worry that my children would start to lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas. I decided to decorate our tree in Chrismon ornaments this year. Chrismon meaning a symbol of Christ or Christianity, or a Christ monogram. Crowns, crosses, doves, and stars are a few examples of a Chrismons design. This was a project that I was able to do with all my children and they were very easy and fun to make.
At Christian Ornaments they have step by step instructions on how to make your very own Chrismons. For more ideas on starting new traditions visit the Christmas Memories Blog.
