Christmas Challenges:

Strut It
Hello, ladies! Care
to strut the stuff that
really counts?—Your
beautiful heart, charming
smile, and fun-loving
personality? As you give
these challenges a go,
you'll discover that you
have so much to offer
others.

Challenge #1
—Be a Channel for Cheer:
Prepare a variety of goodie
bags with small gifts or
appreciation notes for each
member of your family, then
distribute these throughout
the Christmas season. (Tip: You
could add a little snack, like
cheese sticks or cookies, for
extra flavor!)
Challenge #2
—Like a Lady:
Do ladylike
deeds on each of
the next seven days.
Here are seven ideas
to get you started:

…make a special
breakfast for one
member of your
family

…save dinner
for a member of
the family who will
be home late

…fold or iron
someone's laundry

…wash dishes
for your mom
while she’s
cooking

…give your
mom or dad a hug
and a word of
appreciation

…when
complimented,
humbly accept the
compliment and
respond with a
sincere compliment
in return

…ask a sibling
or friend about
his/her day
Challenge #3—Share Your Time
Schedule one evening (or other time in the day) to do a
Christmas craft or baking project with one or more of your
siblings or with some children in your neighborhood. Go out of
your way to make this activity special and memorable for them.

Challenge #4
—Birthday Boy Bash!
Take some time before
bed to write down what you
appreciate and adore about
Jesus, and then tell Him. Make
the birthday Boy feel loved
and highly regarded on His
big day!
