No running! Have fun!

TAKE A SELFIE WITH or DOING the following:

 biggest item/signs you can find that says “JOY,” “PEACE,” “HOPE,” or “LOVE”

 A big star and pretend to be the wise men/people following it

 The most unusual animal you can think of to be in a nativity scene (panda, elephant…etc)

 Ugliest holiday sweater you can find

 Corniest Christmas card with you and your teammates reading it with very serious faces.

 Symbols of other December Holidays (menorah, kwanza candles…) Hanukkah begins Dec. 6!

 Your team meditating on the meaning of Advent in front of TEAVANNA

 Stand under a lamp or bright light - “A light shines in the darkness…” (John 1:1)

 Act perplexed like Mary was in front of Motherhood Maternity - “How can this be?”(Luke 1:29)

 All of you pretending to be the “angels we have heard on high” while riding the down escalator

 Non-Caucasian (non-white) Nativity scene/set

 Look for the coming of Jesus underneath the “WATCH” sign

 A sign that says “Believe” and your team making crosses with your hands/arms

 A Christmas tree the color of the Advent season (hint – you were asked to wear it today!)

 A Christmas tree the color of the Christmas season (hint – it’s not red or green. Extra hint – it’s the same color as the season of Easter)

 A toy road and car set or a train set - “Prepare the way of the Lord” (Luke 3:4)

 “Swaddle” one of your teammates in your hats/ scarves/gloves/coats like Jesus was (Luke 2:12)

 Under a large potted plant, one of you is a shepherd caring for the rest of your team as sheep

 Magnifying glass – Mary sang that begins “My soul magnifies the Lord!” (Luke 1:46)

 Pretend to “make haste” (run in place) like the shepherds to see Jesus, the savior and Lord by the LORD & TAYLOR sign

 Act sleepy by Starbucks ‘cuz Joseph was told about Jesus in a dream, and we are to stay awake for when Jesus shows up!

 A (fake) fur coat and your best “John the Baptist” preaching poses

 Next to a tent – Jesus “pitched his tent” (dwelled) among us (John 1:14)

 Holding a baby doll, hold your nose & remember that baby Jesus filled his diaper too!

 Treasure chest – Mary treasured all these events in her heart (Luke 2:19)

 Make some peace signs in front of Justice to remember that Jesus came to bring peace and justice to the world

 A crown – Jesus is our “Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6) (BONUS if you are FROM Prince of Peace Lutheran!)

 Shoes the color of Advent because Jesus will “guide our feet into the way of peace” (Lk. 1:79)

 Bread, since Bethlehem means “house of bread”

 Sparkly ring, since Mary and Joseph were engaged (but not married) (Luke 2:5)

 With “wise man” Yoda

 Key chains with names from the Christmas stories – Mary, Joseph, John (the Baptist), John’s parents Elizabeth & Zach (Zechariah), Harry (King Herod), Maggie (for the Magi), David (city of), Angela (for the heavenly host), Luke and Matthew (Gospels that tell the Christmas story as we know it)

 a JESUS name tag or Key chain
