It did not thaw for two whole weeks. Dennis had gotten in the car\u2014and gone and gotten his mother, who was widowed\u2014and brought her down to spend Christmas with us. My mother, and grandmother, and brother and wife had driven up. I guess that was how many there were\u2014four or five of them had driven. Dennis and I had to trudge through the snow to get them because they couldn\u2019t drive all the way to our house.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, here we are, for almost two weeks\u2014all of us in our house\u2014our children and all of these extended family members. We all had cabin fever because we couldn\u2019t leave. All of the plans we had to do\u2014these things\u2014nothing happened because <em>nobody<\/em> could go anywhere. Deborah was an infant.

[Laughter] Yes, you know, there are always Christmas mishaps, I think. One year\u2014and I will be made fun of for this for the rest of my life because I am more of the emotional person in the family. Out of all the kids in the family, I tend to be more emotional. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI love doing gifts, and so do Ashley, and a few other people. We were like, \u201cCan\u2019t we just do a few gifts this year?\u201d I mentioned\u2014off-hand: \u201cI\u2019d really like a hairdryer. I just really need a new one.

Are you kidding me?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Samuel: <\/strong>[Phone recording] That was kind of my role in the family\u2014was to be the jokester and to kind of pick on everybody. My younger sister, Rebecca, wanted a hairdryer for Christmas. Kind of being the prankster that I was, I decided to get everybody in the family to get her a hairdryer. We bought her six of the exact same hairdryer.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rebecca: <\/strong>[Phone recording]\u00a0 I think part of what bothered me was that everyone else was in on it and thought it was so hilarious.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Laura: <\/strong>[Phone recording] I would like to say that Rebecca\u2019s matured now, as a mother, and she\u2019s over it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Samuel: <\/strong>[Phone recording] Yes, but there are still scars there! I suppose that\u2019s something we could dredge up at the next Thanksgiving family reunion.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley: <\/strong>[Phone recording]All she wanted for Christmas was a hairdryer and so\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rebecca: <\/strong>[Phone recording] So, I opened up my first gift; and it\u2019s a hairdryer.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> [Phone recording] She opened it, and she was so excited.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rebecca: <\/strong>[Phone recording] I was so excited!

It\u2019s another hairdryer, but this one is a travel hairdryer. The travel one was smaller, and it was perfect to fit in my bag. I\u2019m saying this to everyone: \u2018It\u2019s great! Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell, by the fourth one, I was like, \u201cPlease say it isn\u2019t!\u201d You know what I mean? \u201cPlease tell me that it\u2019s not another hair dryer,\u201d and it was.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley: <\/strong>[Phone recording] She said all she wanted for Christmas was a hairdryer.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Samuel: <\/strong>[Phone recording]\u00a0 And apparently the joke was lost on her for some reason or another.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Laura: <\/strong>[Phone recording] I would like to say that Rebecca\u2019s matured now, but I think she\u2019s probably over it and has moved on.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Rebecca: <\/strong>[Phone recording] Then, by the fourth one, I was starting to get my feelings hurt because now I have four hairdryers. People are starting to laugh. I definitely start crying because I feel like: \u201cThis is just not funny to me. This is just not funny!\u201d The more that I cried, the more that they laughed at me\u2014even harder!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know what? At that moment, as everyone was laughing at me\u2014and I was sitting there crying\u2014I was just sitting there, feeling like: \u201cI am this caged bird in this family. I just want out. I just want out!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFor the last 15 years, I have just been wanting out of this ridiculous joke\u2014that has been like every family time\u2014when we get together, someone brings it up and just thinks it\u2019s so hilarious. It just isn\u2019t! I know that everyone was in on this joke, but the one person who really instigated it all\u2014the whole thing\u2014was Samuel. So, Samuel\u2014you, my friend\u2014you have been stung on national radio.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> [Laughter] He\u2019s exposed as the culprit of the great hairdryer conspiracy. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> He can take it!

Then, I started feeling <em>terrible<\/em> because I was in on it, too. I thought it would be kind of fun; but when she started crying, I just thought: \u201cOh, my gosh.

She was in the moment, and she just thought everybody had made a big mistake in buying these things. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> And she thought that was all she was getting. It was just too much to handle.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> There were a few other presents, over on the side?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Oh, yes, there were.

She really thought that was all we had done.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Christmas is one of those times, as a family, that it takes a little planning. It takes a little effort. Probably, if you\u2019re trying to do practical jokes, Christmas Day is not the best day to do them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> That would have been my opinion, but I married a practical joker.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Oh, so you were, in part, responsible.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Oh, yes. He brought that genetic trait to our family.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> My mom would wrap gag gifts on Christmas Eve. I remember being up with her until midnight, laughing so hard we both were in tears. It was only funny to us\u2014what we were wrapping. It was a part of the, really, the family tradition.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, you have turned the family tradition from gag gifts at Christmas to where your focus, these days, Barbara, is on helping families have a more spiritually-centered Christmas holiday.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes. That was something that I wanted to do with our kids\u2014even with the moments that didn\u2019t work out\u2014even with the jokes that our kids played on one another from time to time. That\u2019s going to happen, and that\u2019s a part of what makes family memories. It\u2019s a part of what\u2019s fun about it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think that there are a lot of moms out there\u2014there are a lot of women, like me\u2014who go to the trouble of creating and maintaining traditions\u2014who go to the trouble to decorate their homes at Christmas. We want to do these things <em>because<\/em> we want to create a meaningful environment for our families. Those of us, who are believers, want to make our Christmas celebration meaningful about Christ. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs we were raising our kids, there was not much available for me in the kinds of things I was looking for to be able to teach my children truth about Christ\u2014other than reading the story in Luke 2. So now, in these empty-nest years of my life, I\u2019m having a great time creating a line of ornaments called Adorenaments<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u2014that are the names of Christ\u2014that families can use to teach their kids. Hopefully, moms and dads will learn, at the same time, the different names of Christ that are spoken of Him in the Bible\u2014what they mean, why they are important, why we need to know these names of Christ that tell us more about who He is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes. Bob, you know that, here at FamilyLife, one of the things we really take delight in is making moms and dads and grandparents look like heroes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, that\u2019s what Barbara has done with Adorenaments. She wants moms and dads to be the winners in their families for passing on the truth about what the names of Jesus really mean, and how many there are, and how we decorate our tree with them. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>10:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs the Christmas tradition of decorating your tree takes place\u2014you can spread this out now, Bob, as you know, to 14 nights, if you wanted to, over Christmas\u2014or to two different Sundays\u2014where you take seven Adorenaments on one Sunday and then follow it again on another Sunday, in the month of December, with another seven\u2014and really proclaim Jesus Christ.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> It\u2019s not just hanging these ornaments on the tree. There are two sets of seven, as you mentioned. One is the Christmas names of Jesus\u2014that we first introduced last year. This year, we\u2019re introducing His royal names.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Along with the ornaments, there\u2019s a booklet\u2014that you\u2019ve included\u2014that gives a brief, read-aloud description of each of the ornaments so that, as you\u2019re decorating the tree, you can read to the kids: \u201cHere\u2019s what it means that Jesus is the Prince of Peace,\u201d \u201cHere\u2019s what it means that He is the King of Israel.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>11:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou walk through each of them and give moms and dads something that they can use to disciple their kids.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> That\u2019s a part of why I\u2019m so excited about this. Not only will, hopefully, believers have Christmas trees that have ornaments on them that talk about Christ, but those believing families will have an opportunity to learn, together, more about who Jesus is, and why He came, and why knowing Him is so important. I\u2019m hopeful that families will learn about the names of Christ, and that they will grow in their faith, and they will grow in their relationship with Him by reading these stories out loud together.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, I know you were anxious, last year, to hear how families used Adorenaments at Christmastime. I remember, when people were calling and ordering them, and we were running out of them. You had a chance, after Christmas, to talk to some moms and some dads\u2014some here, locally, and some from other parts of the country. One of those moms that you talked to is the person who heads up the <em>MomLife Today<\/em> website for us, Tracey Eyster. She\u2019s also the author of the book, <em>Be the Mom<\/em>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>12:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tShe\u2019s here.

For me, Christmas is about tradition. So, right off the bat, for me\u2014recognizing that we now have, in our hands, every Christmas\u2014because it\u2019s a <em>big deal<\/em> in our house to decorate the tree\u2014because we open the box, and we tell the stories of each of the ornaments. Now, that we\u2019re able to tell the story of the names of Christ, as we open each of our ornaments\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s, frankly, something we had never done before. Now, knowing\u2014anticipating Christmas this year\u2014and that we\u2019ve now started a new tradition\u2014we now will be able to pull out the names of Jesus and talk about how much it meant to us last year\u2014that first year. We\u2019ll remember when we opened these, and we got to learn more about the names of Jesus, and we placed them on the tree.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>13:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s been amazing, to me\u2014in our busy, busy lives, where we never seem to take time to do what matters\u2014Christmas <em>is <\/em>the time that we usually, at least try to, do that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> That\u2019s right; yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracey:<\/strong> So, knowing that there are all of these moms out there, that we are hearing from, who say, \u201cNow, it\u2019s the names of Jesus that we talk about as we place [ornaments] on the tree.\u201d Knowing that we get to do that, year after year\u2014it just fills me up! I know it fills you up, too.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes because I think that\u2019s what we, moms, intuitively sense.

It can be memorable without the meaning\u2014but when you add the meaning of what Christmas is all about and you talk about the names of Christ\u2014that\u2019s the kind of meaning we\u2019re looking for. It\u2019s the kind of depth that we long for, as moms. We know it will bind our hearts to our children and our children back to us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>14:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracey:<\/strong> Right.

[Laughter] Just the little things\u2014because we knew that, this year, when we open each of the names, we want to see the hay in there. We want to even remember that aspect of it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I\u2019ve got to tell a story about that because, when Barbara was designing this, I said: \u201cYou want to do <em>what<\/em>?

We\u2019re going to decorate,\u201d\u2014did you do it all in one night? How did you do it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jim:<\/strong> I would just say, as a parent, I want nothing more than my children to come to faith in Christ and to believe the gospel. My wife and I take that very seriously. We pray, \u201cGod, just give us opportunities to share the gospel with our kids.\u201d So, Adorenaments afforded us the opportunity to do that. My daughter is very outgoing. She\u2019s very courageous. So, her faith experience was very different than Evan\u2019s. Evan is a very timid kid\u2014he\u2019s very tender-hearted.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI just knew that, as a father\u2014intuitively, I knew\u2014I could persuade my son to say whatever I wanted him to say. I could persuade him to pray whatever I wanted him to pray. I wanted to be really sensitive to just the moving of the Spirit in his life\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And not just introduce him to Christ\u2014and have him just do it because Daddy said to do it. You wanted it to be his decision. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jim:<\/strong> That\u2019s right, Dennis. I really prayed for him. I thought of Jesus\u2019 words: \u201cDo not hinder the children from coming to me,\u201d\u2014to His disciples. I took that to heart. I wanted to not do anything to hinder my son from coming to Christ.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen we heard about Adorenaments, I thought, \u201cThis is a great way to just teach our kids about Christ and give Evan a chance to hear about the character of Christ.\u201d We did\u2014we went through those ornaments together, one per night. I knew God was working in my son\u2019s heart. He was softening toward the gospel. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere was one particular night when we had gone through the name, \u201cSavior.\u201d That night, my wife and I got the chance to kneel down with my son on the floor and hear him invite Christ into his life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd that section in the booklet says, \u201cGod loves us; and because He loves us, He sent His Son Jesus to be our Savior, to rescue us from our bondage to sin. As you hang the name, \u2018Savior\u2019, on the tree, think of the symbolism of this action, and then give thanks to He Who came to save you and me and anyone who believes in His name. Hallelujah! What a Savior!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> That\u2019s cool. Of course, what you\u2019re reading from is what Barbara wrote. There\u2019s a little piece with each of the seven names\u2014the Christmas names and the royal names\u2014that explains what the names mean. I know that she had in mind moms and dads\u2014being able to introduce their kids to the name, \u201cSavior\u201d \u2014and to the One who is the Savior.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Exactly because I think moms and dads\u2014all moms and dads\u2014feel exactly what you felt, Jim. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>20:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe want the privilege of teaching our children about the eternal God.

They\u2019d get in an argument because they would take it personally that: \u201cI like this tree, but my brother likes this tree.\u201d Then, <em>we<\/em> had to cast the deciding vote, which meant somebody\u2019s feelings were always hurt.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes, it was like a civil war of sorts.

It did not thaw for two whole weeks. Dennis had gotten in the car\u2014and gone and gotten his mother, who was widowed\u2014and brought her down to spend Christmas with us. My mother, and grandmother, and brother and wife had driven up. I guess that was how many there were\u2014four or five of them had driven.

That was something that I wanted to do with our kids\u2014even with the moments that didn\u2019t work out\u2014even with the jokes that our kids played on one another from time to time. That\u2019s going to happen, and that\u2019s a part of what makes family memories. It\u2019s a part of what\u2019s fun about it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think that there are a lot of moms out there\u2014there are a lot of women, like me\u2014who go to the trouble of creating and maintaining traditions\u2014who go to the trouble to decorate their homes at Christmas. We want to do these things <em>because<\/em> we want to create a meaningful environment for our families. Those of us, who are believers, want to make our Christmas celebration meaningful about Christ. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs we were raising our kids, there was not much available for me in the kinds of things I was looking for to be able to teach my children truth about Christ\u2014other than reading the story in Luke 2. So now, in these empty-nest years of my life, I\u2019m having a great time creating a line of ornaments called Adorenaments<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u2014that are the names of Christ\u2014that families can use to teach their kids. Hopefully, moms and dads will learn, at the same time, the different names of Christ that are spoken of Him in the Bible\u2014what they mean, why they are important, why we need to know these names of Christ that tell us more about who He is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes. Bob, you know that, here at FamilyLife, one of the things we really take delight in is making moms and dads and grandparents look like heroes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, that\u2019s what Barbara has done with Adorenaments. She wants moms and dads to be the winners in their families for passing on the truth about what the names of Jesus really mean, and how many there are, and how we decorate our tree with them. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>10:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs the Christmas tradition of decorating your tree takes place\u2014you can spread this out now, Bob, as you know, to 14 nights, if you wanted to, over Christmas\u2014or to two different Sundays\u2014where you take seven Adorenaments on one Sunday and then follow it again on another Sunday, in the month of December, with another seven\u2014and really proclaim Jesus Christ.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> It\u2019s not just hanging these ornaments on the tree. There are two sets of seven, as you mentioned. One is the Christmas names of Jesus\u2014that we first introduced last year. This year, we\u2019re introducing His royal names.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Along with the ornaments, there\u2019s a booklet\u2014that you\u2019ve included\u2014that gives a brief, read-aloud description of each of the ornaments so that, as you\u2019re decorating the tree, you can read to the kids: \u201cHere\u2019s what it means that Jesus is the Prince of Peace,\u201d \u201cHere\u2019s what it means that He is the King of Israel.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>11:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou walk through each of them and give moms and dads something that they can use to disciple their kids.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> That\u2019s a part of why I\u2019m so excited about this. Not only will, hopefully, believers have Christmas trees that have ornaments on them that talk about Christ, but those believing families will have an opportunity to learn, together, more about who Jesus is, and why He came, and why knowing Him is so important. I\u2019m hopeful that families will learn about the names of Christ, and that they will grow in their faith, and they will grow in their relationship with Him by reading these stories out loud together.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, I know you were anxious, last year, to hear how families used Adorenaments at Christmastime. I remember, when people were calling and ordering them, and we were running out of them. You had a chance, after Christmas, to talk to some moms and some dads\u2014some here, locally, and some from other parts of the country. One of those moms that you talked to is the person who heads up the <em>MomLife Today<\/em> website for us, Tracey Eyster. She\u2019s also the author of the book, <em>Be the Mom<\/em>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>12:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tShe\u2019s here.

For me, Christmas is about tradition. So, right off the bat, for me\u2014recognizing that we now have, in our hands, every Christmas\u2014because it\u2019s a <em>big deal<\/em> in our house to decorate the tree\u2014because we open the box, and we tell the stories of each of the ornaments.

Now, knowing\u2014anticipating Christmas this year\u2014and that we\u2019ve now started a new tradition\u2014we now will be able to pull out the names of Jesus and talk about how much it meant to us last year\u2014that first year. We\u2019ll remember when we opened these, and we got to learn more about the names of Jesus, and we placed them on the tree.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>13:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s been amazing, to me\u2014in our busy, busy lives, where we never seem to take time to do what matters\u2014Christmas <em>is <\/em>the time that we usually, at least try to, do that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> That\u2019s right; yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracey:<\/strong> So, knowing that there are all of these moms out there, that we are hearing from, who say, \u201cNow, it\u2019s the names of Jesus that we talk about as we place [ornaments] on the tree.\u201d Knowing that we get to do that, year after year\u2014it just fills me up!

It\u2019s the kind of depth that we long for, as moms.

Now, we\u2019re talking about, now, the names of Christ as a king and thinking of His royal names.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Tracey:<\/strong> All of those little things matter to moms because we\u2019re imparting that on our children.

[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere was somebody else you talked to last year, after the first set of Adorenaments was released.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> This was a dad who had used them with his family. We asked him to stop by and share a little bit about his family\u2019s use of Adorenaments. His name is Jim Mitchell, and Jim is here with us. Jim, welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jim:<\/strong> Thank you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You work here at FamilyLife; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jim:<\/strong> I do.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And you used these ornaments with your family last year. Tell us about your family. How old are your kids?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jim:<\/strong> I am the proud father of two kids. My daughter, Grace, is 13. My son, Evan, is 8. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Okay, so when you brought home these ornaments\u2014and showed them to the kids, and said: \u201cWe\u2019re going to put these on the tree. We\u2019re going to decorate,\u201d\u2014did you do it all in one night? How did you do it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jim:<\/strong> I would just say, as a parent, I want nothing more than my children to come to faith in Christ and to believe the gospel. My wife and I take that very seriously. We pray, \u201cGod, just give us opportunities to share the gospel with our kids.\u201d So, Adorenaments afforded us the opportunity to do that. My daughter is very outgoing. She\u2019s very courageous. So, her faith experience was very different than Evan\u2019s. Evan is a very timid kid\u2014he\u2019s very tender-hearted.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI just knew that, as a father\u2014intuitively, I knew\u2014I could persuade my son to say whatever I wanted him to say. I could persuade him to pray whatever I wanted him to pray. I wanted to be really sensitive to just the moving of the Spirit in his life\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And not just introduce him to Christ\u2014and have him just do it because Daddy said to do it. You wanted it to be his decision. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jim:<\/strong> That\u2019s right, Dennis. I really prayed for him. I thought of Jesus\u2019 words: \u201cDo not hinder the children from coming to me,\u201d\u2014to His disciples. I took that to heart. I wanted to not do anything to hinder my son from coming to Christ.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen we heard about Adorenaments, I thought, \u201cThis is a great way to just teach our kids about Christ and give Evan a chance to hear about the character of Christ.\u201d We did\u2014we went through those ornaments together, one per night. I knew God was working in my son\u2019s heart. He was softening toward the gospel. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere was one particular night when we had gone through the name, \u201cSavior.\u201d That night, my wife and I got the chance to kneel down with my son on the floor and hear him invite Christ into his life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd that section in the booklet says, \u201cGod loves us; and because He loves us, He sent His Son Jesus to be our Savior, to rescue us from our bondage to sin. As you hang the name, \u2018Savior\u2019, on the tree, think of the symbolism of this action, and then give thanks to He Who came to save you and me and anyone who believes in His name. Hallelujah! What a Savior!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> That\u2019s cool. Of course, what you\u2019re reading from is what Barbara wrote. There\u2019s a little piece with each of the seven names\u2014the Christmas names and the royal names\u2014that explains what the names mean. I know that she had in mind moms and dads\u2014being able to introduce their kids to the name, \u201cSavior\u201d \u2014and to the One who is the Savior.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Exactly because I think moms and dads\u2014all moms and dads\u2014feel exactly what you felt, Jim. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>20:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe want the privilege of teaching our children about the eternal God. We want the privilege of teaching our kids who Jesus is and that Jesus came to save them, too. As much as we need a Sunday school class, as much as we need the storybooks\u2014we want that privilege, as mom and dad, of being the one to take our child\u2019s hand and place it in the hand of the Savior.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis is an opportunity for moms and dads to do that because\u2014as you explain who Jesus is, and why He came, and what His names mean\u2014it\u2019s an open door for a child to walk through because it helps them understand. You, as mom and dad, get the privilege to do that. I loved your story when you first told it to me. It just was a thrill!

I know it\u2019s a busy time for us, here at FamilyLife. The month of December is a pretty key month for ministries like ours. One reason why is because our ministry is listener-supported. December is a month when we hear from more listeners than normal. In fact, I don\u2019t know if you realize this; but for <em>FamilyLife Today, <\/em>about 30 percent of the donations we receive all year-long come during the month of December. So that, by the time the calendar flips to 2014, we\u2019ll have a pretty good idea of whether we\u2019re going to be able, as a ministry, to move forward in some strategic plans we\u2019ve laid out for the year, or whether we\u2019re going to have to put those plans on hold until we\u2019re able to secure the funding for them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>23:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s why we\u2019re asking<em> FamilyLife Today <\/em>listeners, this month, to consider making a year-end contribution to help support <em>FamilyLife Today <\/em>to put us in a strong position, heading into 2014. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere\u2019s a second reason for you to make a year-end contribution. That\u2019s because some friends of ours have come along and agreed that they will match the donation you give with a donation of their own, but they\u2019re going to match it three-to-one. So, if you make a $50 donation to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>,here at the end of the year, they\u2019ll add an additional $150. We\u2019ll be up to $200, thanks to that matching-gift.
