I Challenge You!!!

Today’s post is a challenge. Let’s be honest, we all like a good challenge.

My challenge today is for families. I challenge you to turn off the TV tonight from 5 until bedtime, and spend the entire evening with “the tube” off.

Yes, I know Monday Night Football is tonight. I know there are sitcoms and dramas you may like. But, folks, it’s just one night (and, if you just cannot miss the show, there’s always DVR).

What will you spend that TV-less time on? Here are a few suggestions:

1. Have a family devotional.

2. Listen to Christmas carols while you sit in front of a fire.

3. Put up the Christmas tree (that’s what we have planned).

4. Play a board or card game.

5. If you live where the weather is still nice, go outside for an evening walk.

6. Take your family out to look at Christmas lights.

7. Have a meal out and then do some shopping for the holidays.

See…you can survive without the TV.

Or, can you?

I challenge you to!!!
