Just like last year, my family and I are participating in the Proclamation Ornaments devotional this year. It’s a wonderful little tradition to celebrate Christmas in a deeper, and more spiritual way – keeping CHRIST our main focus.
The box contains the Proclamation Ornament devotional booklet, along with 25 ornaments for each day of December leading up to the day of Christmas. Here is the book’s introduction:
Each ornament’s design represents what we have in Jesus. The heart speaks of His great love for us. The cross speaks of His death for us. And the star speaks of the hope we have in our ascended Christ. The culmination of the ornaments, the Jesus Banner, is royal blue and speaks of His heavenly origin. Lift high the banner of Jesus!
Beginning on December 1, you will want to introduce the first of the twenty-five ornaments. As you remove the ornament from the box, read the devotional corresponding to the ornament title making certain to read the Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment. When you have completed your time of meditation, display that day’s ornament and conclude with the devotional thought.
Follow this pattern each day in December leading up to Christmas Day when the Proclamation Ornaments are highlighted by the Jesus Banner. On this special day, place the banner ornament on your tree and celebrate Jesus by reading the Christmas story from the Scriptures listed on the back of the ornament.
What a terrific way to decorate your tree and proclaim God’s message of salvation ot family, friends and neighbors. We hope this will quickly become a family tradition helping you to celebrate the life, death, resurrection and soon coming of Jesus Christ in your home.
In addition to this devotion that my parents lead, we are also starting the Jesse Tree which I will be leading with my younger siblings.
What Christmas traditions are you doing, that keeps Christ the main focus?

Hi Would you know where I might get the proclamation ornaments, I have contacted LWF and they no longer have them??
Thanks

Kira, I tried to go to the Proclamation Ornament website you linked, but it said the page wasn’t available any more.
We make “hope” bags for the homeless every year. We live near a huge metropolitan area and there are many who are cold and hungry on the street. My kids and I buy plastic cutlery, pop top canned food, travel toothpaste and toothbushes, bottled water, and if we can afford it, throw blankets and put them in “hope” bags with a card about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We keep them in the car and when we see homeless on the cold streets, we pass them out.
Shawny and phoenixoftexas,
I went to the site as well, and I am just as confused as you are.
When I first wrote this post, the link I provided led right to where you could purchase the Proclamation Ornaments, which was the same place we ordered from also. They must have taken them off shortly after…
I’m sorry for the trouble. I’ll see if I can contact them as well, and if I find out anything, I’ll be sure to update.
