Experience the true meaning of Christmas this year with The Giving Manger -- a faith-based interactive family tradition that encourages acts of kindness, focuses on the joy of giving, and honors the real reason for Christmas: Jesus' birth. Each Giving Manger Box Set contains a hardcover picture book, a wooden manger, a bundle of straw, and a sturdy Baby Jesus figure -- everything your family needs to start the tradition in your own home. How It Works The included picture book, The Giving Manger, will help your family understand the tradition and get children excited about participating. Once you have read the story, place the empty manger in a prominent spot in your home. In the days leading up to Christmas, family members can place a piece of straw in the manger each time they perform a kind deed or act of service. Filling the manger will become a fun, interactive project for your family, prompting even young children to look for ways to love and serve others. As your family works together to fill the manger with straw, your hearts and home will fill with the joy and contentment that comes not from wish lists and getting, but from giving and loving others. On Christmas Day, your family can place the Baby Jesus in the manger -- now full of the straw that represents the acts of love and service done in honor of Jesus' birth. Each Box Set Includes: The Giving Manger Picture Book: a heartwarming story with beautiful cut-paper illustrations that presents the tradition and will get kids excited about participating Wooden Manger: to be placed in a visible spot in the home, waiting to be filled Bundle of Straw: pieces of straw to be placed in the manger after each act of service Baby Jesus: to be placed in the manger on Christmas day Each item in the box is built to last so your family can keep the tradition going year after year.

This Christmas, things will be different. So, dad tells his children, Anne and Ben. He then shows them an empty manger, a small bundle of hay and reads Mathew 25:40 b:
"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
That means doing good thing for others is like doing it for Jesus, it is a gift to Him. This year, family members will concentrate on doing for others. Every time as service is done, a piece of straw will be put in the empty manger.
The Christ child figure will not be put in the manger until Christmas Day, when hopefully, there will be lots of straw to cushion Him. They will give gifts to Jesus by serving others without expecting anything in return.
At first, Anne and Ben do not like this idea. But then, Anne is surprised to find a number of pieces of straw in the manger because her mom did Anne's chores for her. She is so touched by it, that Anne does some good deeds for Ben.
They discover the joy the comes from helping others. Because of that, there are lots of pieces of straw in the manger on Christmas morning. There is also lots of joy present from giving these kinds of gifts to Jesus.
This kit teaches a great lesson, and provides everything needed to re-create this blessing in your family. There is an empty manger, a small bundle of straw, the Christ child figure, and the story book. To get you started, the back of the book has a list of service ideas.
By doing this, the focus of Christmas is on Christ, and your family will have a great interactive way to celebrate. Any age can do this, even the youngest of children. I highly endorse making this a yearly tradition, and recommend this five-star kit as a way of enjoying the true meaning of the season.
