Christmas is a time for our souls to be still.

If it happens to be snowing, watch the snow or go outside to feel your surroundings.
If you have a delicious smelling candle, sit in the dark and watch it burn for a few seconds. If you have a fireplace, light a fire and take a moment to be still.

Watch the following together as a family.

How does Jesus help those that suffer? How does Jesus bring our hearts calm and happiness?

Read 4 Nephi 1:16-18 " And surely there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God. There were no robbers, nor murderers, neither were there Lamanites, nor any manner of -ites; but they were in one, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God. And how blessed were they! For the Lord did bless them in all their doings;"

Christmas is a time of peace.

Sing as a family, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (Hymns pg. 209) Glue a paper angel on a popsicle stick. As you sing, have the children hold up the angel when they hear the word “peace”.

Read Luke 2: 11-14
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God,
and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

Peace means harmony, togetherness. Work together to put the “pieces” of a puzzle
together. Emphasize how the peace of Christ brings unity.
