Christmas Around the World
Celebrated around the world, Christmas brings us together like no other holiday to focus on family, joy, and peace—all gifts God gives to us through the birth of Jesus. Cultures across the globe celebrate the holidays with food, crafts, and time together.
At Operation Blessing, YOU are part of our global family. This year, we are excited to offer you something extra special—our complete Christmas Around the World keepsake book. This full-color compilation features many of your favorite Christmas reflections, recipes, and holiday crafts that our partners around the world have submitted to our previous booklets. But it also includes many new items that we received this year that you’ll want to add to your family traditions.
The Christmas Around the World book is available to you with your gift of any amount to help vulnerable, hurting people across the globe. You will receive a print copy in the mail within a few weeks. We hope that you find treasures in this keepsake that will delight you and your family for years to come. And, it makes a great gift for someone you love!
As you prepare new meals and desserts, engage your family in a craft project, or reflect on a devotional during your time with God, we invite you to remember and pray for those who are hurting in our world today. Our prayer is that you and your family will experience God’s love and peace this Christmas season!
