Christmas Colors

Note:

• There is no Christmas color code in the Bible, of course. However, this is a handy way of teaching the doctrine of Christ to our children. It’s easy to review with them and to remember. In fact, we made a handout to give to our families with children, and senior adults picked up copies.
