Hub: What's Christmas really all about?

Posted by Anne Witton on Friday, December 4, 2015 Under: Hub


Last night we were joined by a team from Youth With A Mission (YWAM) who have come over from Norway to do some youth work in Byker. They generously agreed to come along and share at the Hub and we had a great time reflecting on Christmas traditions from different cultures and how our faith comes into play.

Here are the questions we discussed:

  1. Does your family celebrate the holidays? If so, how?
  2. What is the purpose behind any holiday traditions you have?
  3. Does your faith affect how you celebrate the holidays? If yes, how?
  4. How do you think the meaning of Christmas has changed over time? Give examples.
  5. What brings you more joy - giving or receiving?
