Joel’s Family Christmas Tree
“This was Grandma’s,” Joel said. “She always had a treat for me.”
“This was my Aunt Lizzy’s,” said Mommy. “She always made me laugh!”
“Grandpa taught me how to whistle,” Sarah said.
“I made this in Primary last year!” said Joel.
“This was on our first Christmas tree,” Daddy said. “It’s like the star the Wise Men followed.”
“I love our family Christmas tree!” everyone said.

Here’s an ornament you can make with your family.

Mommy or Daddy: Glue this page to heavy paper and cut out the pieces. Then cut the doors open and glue the picture behind the doors. Read Luke 2:8–16 together.
“And [the shepherds] came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger” (Luke 2:16).
