Today I’m doing a re-run of sorts; this time of year the most frequent Google search that lands people at my blog is "Jesse Tree". I wrote about this Christmas tradition at length last year–if you missed it, below are links to all the posts.
(And no, I don’t think it’s too late to jump on this bandwagon this season. You might have to scramble a bit, but it would be worth it. At the very least, you could begin working on your Jesse Tree for next year, while all the Christmas ornaments are on sale! I was at the mother ship yesterday and bought a three-foot Christmas tree for $6. It would be perfect for a Jesse Tree.)
Also, see this post at Bloggy Giveaways on the subject.

There’s a lot of bloggy blips going on at the moment. We bloggy ignoramouses need a few hints from the experienced.
Best wishes
I set up a blog with all of our Jesse Tree ornaments and scriptures, matched up with our kids’ children’s Bibles too. I figured by writing it all down in advance, it would be less stress to figure out day by day.

I’m doing a Jesse tree for the first time this year with my 4 yr old and 1 yr old. I think the original inspiration came from your blog last year, so thank you!
One fun thing I’m doing is using the book One Wintry Night by Ruth Bell Graham and reading a little of it along with the Jesse tree devotion. If you don’t know the book, check it out…it’s a beautifully illustrated telling of the Christmas story going through the entire Bible.
Thanks for all your great ideas!
I have no idea what a Jessie tree is – I’m definitely going to read those posts to find out though!
Ummm, did you know the Hobby place is predjudiced? There’s not a one anywhere in the west. We need cheap stuff too, you know!
Thanks to your post last year, and your bloggy giveaway this year, we are doing our own Jesse Tree and are loving it. Our boys are 3 and 1 and I look forward to the tradition for many years to come! So, thank you!
Thanks for sharing about this. We are members of an RCA church, and I had never heard of a Jesse tree!
after hearing about the jesse tree from a friend who read it on your blog last year (got that?!) we started one this year. and i don’t know how i would have done it without hobby lobby 🙂 my entire family is enjoying it to no end this year! thanks for passing on the joy
Just wanted you to know that I stumbled upon your blog about the Jesse Tree a while back and couldn’t wait for Christmas this year to do this with my kids! We are loving it! Thanks for giving us the idea for this fun family tradition! 🙂
