I was going to recommend Jesse tree project, too! Jacki is a sweet friend of mine and former Providence teacher. She is doing amazing things with her Jesse tree ministry. I had the privilege of being in the first group that she organized and it was such a treat… And a tradition that our family has enjoyed!

In reply to Erin. Thank you for sharing! That's actually what reader Heather (who commented above) did so I linked your friend's site in the post, too. Such a great idea!

I have a dear friend who organizes these and has also made a devotional to go along with it! Her website is jessetreeproject.com

In reply to Heather LeClair. Thank you, Heather! That is great advice! I may put Bible verses on the back on mine now.

This is one of my favorite traditions! My two tips:

1. Have people add the family name on the ornament. So you can remember them – we say a prayer for each family as we hang the ornament.

2. Add the scripture to the ornament. So if you ever lose your book you can read from the bible.

Great tradition!
