Merry Christmas Dear Friends!
May the spirit of Christmas shine brightly in your home
and all year long!
and all year long!
I must share with you a wonderful book that has brightened our Christmas this year.
A Christ Centered Christmas
Seven Traditions to Lead us Closer to the Savior.
We will read the last chapter on Christmas Eve, as we place Baby Jesus in our Nativity.
I have loved every moment reading this book with my family.
You can follow Emily Freeman's Closer to Christ Blog HERE.
We've also enjoyed Hilary Week's Christmas CD.
When we finish a chapter, we pick one song from her
Christmas CD.
Her Christmas music is BEAUTIFUL!
Your HOME will be touched with the spirit of Christmas!
A Christ-Centered Christmas takes each nativity piece and centers a story and activity around that figure. The chapters are small but thought provoking. Also included are recipes for yummy Holiday treats like hot cocoa and candy cane cookies. Next year we plan on having one lesson each week for seven weeks to correspond with the chapters in the book. A Christ-Centered Christmas would be a great gift for those you love as it invites all to feel and learn the real lessons behind the symbols we so often see this time of year...the bell, the star, the Shepard's crook. It's message is simple but powerful.

I have a nativity that I made and it's kid friendly. Last night 4 of my grandkids played with it to re-enact the nativity then all of a sudden they had Mary going to the store while holding Baby Jesus, etc.
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
Also, I meant to say that Salt Lake Temple Gingerbread is beautiful! What an accomplishment!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
XOXO!
