Christmas Is …
by the Haymarket Church High School Students
At a recent High School Hangout (a night where youth leaders and high school students meet for dinner, conversation, and games) we asked our students to answer the following prompt: Christmas Is. What followed was a very eclectic list and some great conversation about the items we named—the magical ones AND the difficult ones.
So, we offer this bulleted list to you today and hope that it stirs up some good memories of your Christmases past, and perhaps helps you think about and maybe share with someone else about a more difficult one.
Here’s our list of what Christmas is.
