LUMI's Christmas Blessings

Child Holding Gift

Purpose of the Program
 

LUMI’s Christmas Blessings is a full Christmas experience — not a grab and pick up event. Every child will enjoy:
 

  • A warm meal

  • Games, crafts, and immersive activities

  • Photos with SHINE

  • A Jesus birthday cupcake

  • A free goody bag

  • Their Christmas gifts


Because this is an experience, attendance is required.

⭐ 1. Eligible Ages for Gifts
 

Children must be ages 0–17 to receive Christmas gifts through this program.

Every child registered (ages 0–17) will be listed as one of our Little LUMIs on the giving tree.

We will accept up to 30 children into the program. If the final family pushes the total slightly above 30 (for example, 31–33 children), we will still accept them to keep families together.
 

⭐ 2. Mandatory Attendance — No Exceptions
 

To receive free Christmas gifts, families must attend the Christmas Celebration:
 

**📅 Friday December 11

⏰ 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM 📍 Lake Jackson Civic Center Terrace Room 1
 

Attendance requirements:

  • At least one parent or legal guardian must attend

  • Every child registered for gifts (ages 0–17) must attend
     

If you are unable to attend the celebration, then family forfeits all Christmas gifts. This rule is firm and applies to everyone equally.
 

⭐ 3. Registration Deadline
 

All families must register by:

📅 November 4
 

No late registrations will be accepted.
 

⭐ 4. “Little LUMIs” Tree Participation

Each registered child (ages 0–17) will be listed as a Little LUMI on the giving tree. This helps donors choose a child to bless and ensures every child receives thoughtful gifts.
 

⭐ 5. What Families Can Expect at the Event
 

Every child/family will enjoy:

  • Immersive activity stations

  • Games and crafts

  • A warm meal

  • Photos with SHINE

  • A Jesus birthday cupcake

This is designed to be a joyful, meaningful, Christ‑centered experience.
