Discover the Meaning Behind the Symbols of Christmas
A Family Unit Study to Help You Keep Christ at the Center of the Season
Christmas is full of beautiful sights, sounds, and traditions. Everything from twinkling lights, evergreen wreaths, candy canes, stars, and bells ringing through the air. But have you ever stopped to wonder where these Christmas symbols came from and what they really mean?
As Christian parents and homeschoolers, we have the wonderful opportunity to slow down during the busy holiday season and point our children back to Jesus! The true reason we celebrate.
That’s exactly why I created the Symbols of Christmas Family Unit Study. A simple, faith-filled resource designed to help your family explore how each Christmas symbol points to God’s love and the story of Jesus’ birth.
🎄 What You’ll Learn Inside the Unit Study
This (go at your own pace) study focuses on a different Christmas symbol and includes:
✨ A short devotional and Bible reading
✨ Family discussion questions to spark meaningful conversation
✨ Hands-on crafts and activities for all ages
✨ Copywork and memory verses to hide God’s Word in your hearts
✨ Reflection pages for journaling or drawing
Your family will discover the deeper meaning behind:
The Christmas Tree 🌲
Lights & Candles 🕯️
The Candy Cane 🍭
The Star ⭐
The Gifts 🎁
The Wreath 🎄
The Nativity 🐑
The Bells 🔔
Each lesson points back to Scripture, showing how every symbol, from the evergreen tree to the shining star, tells a piece of the story of God’s redemption and everlasting love.
🏠 Perfect for Homeschool or Family Devotion Time
This study is designed to be flexible, so use it during morning basket time, Bible lessons, or evening family devotions.
Each lesson can be completed in under an hour, and all the crafts use simple materials you likely already have at home.
It’s a wonderful way to slow down, connect as a family, and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. Not the busyness, but the blessing.

✨ From My Heart
This unit study was created to help families like yours rediscover the wonder of Christmas. Not in the gifts under the tree, but in the greatest gift ever given: Jesus.
May your home be filled with peace, joy, and His light as you celebrate this season together.
