Christmas Eve (Alternative)

So you weren't able to grab a Christmas Eve Kit?

We realize everyone probably doesn’t have specifically three blue, one pink, and a large white candle at home. But this doesn’t mean you can’t participate in this liturgy. Simply assign other light sources to symbolize the candles. Here are some ideas of what else you could use:

Just grab five random candles, the colors don’t have to match. Simply let the biggest one represent the Christ Candle.

Use four lamps to symbolize the four Advent Candles and then let your Christmas Tree represent the Christ Candle. 

Maybe you have a lot of flashlights lying around, or perhaps a couple of people would be willing to share their phone lights.

Or, use a combination of all of the above!

Be creative!
Find your own symbols to represent Christ’s light entering the world.
