Today, I’m excited to share video 8 of 12 in the What's in the Bible? 12 Questions of Christmas Blog Tour. Check out www.whatsinthebible.com each day to find the location of the next video in the series. Clive and Ian are answering questions each day and today they explain a little more about what Hanukkah is. Tune in below to hear what they have to say!
What is Hanukkah?
What's in the Bible? is the new 13-DVD series from VeggieTales creator Phil Vischer designed to walk kids and families through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. DVDs 1-4 (Genesis - Ruth) are available now. Check out www.whatsinthebible.com to learn more.
We are big fans of the What’s in the Bible? DVDs at our house. They’ve traveled on vacation with us and as a mom, I love that adults can even enjoy them {if not learn a little something from them! Only Phil Visher can make the books of Numbers and Leviticus FUN for kids and have them walk away learning something they will remember.
I’ve listed a few additional resources below, but be sure to check out the rest of the videos in the What's in the Bible? 12 Questions of Christmas Blog Tour! Our kids are crowding around me every day to see them!

We love listen to Christmas music. We even break it out during the rest of the year. My daughter is just really grasping what Christmas is all about and it has been wonderful to beable to answer all the questions she asks.
ReplyDeleteOur five little boys would love to win a copy of the first DVD, its the only one we don't have yet. Thanks for hosting this video and the wonderful give-away! :)
ReplyDeletethe fact that even secular stations are playing music celebrating our LORD!!!
ReplyDeleteWe love that it is a time that we can share with the masses our love for Jesus Christ. People become more humble, more giving and more open to the moves of the Spirit. We also celebrated Hanukkah for the first time this year as a family in addition to Christmas.

ReplyDeleteI think my favorite part of Christmas would have to be Christmas eve. Growing up, the whole family would gather at my grandparents house. Sadly we don't do that anymore, but my mom has picked up the tradition and my daughter loves going to her grandparents house just like I did.

My favorite part of Christmas is the Christmas Eve service. It's so beautiful and so full of tradition and meaning. I love how it brings our focus to God right before the craziness of the gift frenzy, which helps the kids remember it's not about toys.
ReplyDeleteThe traditions...advent calendars for the kids, the train under the tree, driving to see Christmas lights, choosing a Christmas tree, baking cookies, lighting the advent candles...they ground me for the holidays and really help us as a family to prioritize -- we will celebrate Christ's birth and we will spend quality time as a family!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.

ReplyDeletemarkntiff777@msn.com
I love all the excitement. Christmas music is a must in our house. We start early on Pandora listening and singing. Then the smells...cinnamon, peppermint, etc. Last night the kids requested that we mop our floors with peppermint oil in the water, so we did and boy did it smell yummy!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy that everything is always so new and exciting to my kids. Nothing is old or boring during this season to them.
