Preserving memories seems to be more important as the days go by, and the result is new interest in making scrapbooks. It's as though we are trying to hold on to the memories much tighter in an age when our words disappear as we shut the computer off. We want something to look back on in the future, and scrapbooks fill the bill.
The new Christmas Scrapbook Kit from Thomas Nelson Gifts provides many ideas and accessories for keeping personalized memeories of Christmas. The kit is much more than a photo album with a few ribbons and nametags. It offers a place to record holiday traditions, a fill-in memory page, a sheet of seasonal stickers, a pattern for cut-out shapes, and 6 solid color pages for rich backgrounds. It's ideal for those just starting to keep scrapbooks as well as a gift for others.
Maybe your Bible study group goes caroling each year. You'll want to decorate a scrapbook page and list the carols you sing, the people who go, and the route you take. Maybe your family gathers to take food to shut-ins or a mission home for the needy. You'll want to list what food you took and a brief account of the trip. Maybe a Christmas Eve church service is on your list of special things to do. Don't forget to record the Scriptures read and the colors and fragrances in the church. Precious memories -- all. God gives us many gifts. As we make a Christmas Scrapbook, they will become more real in the years ahead.
