To reinforce the meaning of Christmas in a Christian home to children, parents can hide the Baby Jesus from their Nativity Scene on Christmas Morning. Before the children can open up their Christmas gifts, they have to find the Baby Jesus and return it to the Nativity Scene, sing "Jesus Loves Me" and "Happy Birthday to Jesus". The parents can then read the Christmas Story from the Bible before the gifts are opened. During the reading of the Christmas story, the children can be served a breakfast beverage, a biscuit/sausage/ham and a piece of fruit.
After reading the story and eating a small breakfast, the children can enjoy opening their gifts.
