This Family Christmas Tree was inspired by the traditional Jesse Tree and many years of falling "behind" on elaborate family Advent devotionals that were impossible to keep up with during the busy Advent season. This tree tells the Christmas story beginning with creation and following Jesus' family tree all the way through to the role we play in it today, yet it only has SIX pieces/prompts and none of the pieces correlate with a specific day or schedule. This is meant to be used by families in whatever way will serve them and at whatever pace will serve them.
