Christmas Jars!

After reading the book,
"Christmas Jars"

I decided

that I wanted to take the opportunity with

my family
to give as the Savior did.

I wanted my boys to have a selfless Christmas.

What an amazing year it turned out to be!

We read the book as a family

and then started filling jars for our neighbors.

Each jar contained 1 roll of pennies....

that was it!

We added a poem to the jar so that

the neighbor's wouldn't be left to wonder

what the purpose of a gift of 100 pennies meant.

Here's the Poem:
A jar of pennies JUST FOR YOU . . .
we really went all out!
But the real meaning of this gift
IS WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT!
A pocket full of change, can be a
heavy thing to pack . . .
So just place it in this little jar,
and remember - NOT TO TAKE IT BACK!
When filled, this jar can CHANGE THE HEART
of someone who is in need.
The story is told in “Christmas Jars”
a book you’ll definitely want to read.
Jars are given in SECRET . . .
NO ONE MUST EVER KNOW,
just where their CHRISTMAS JAR came from,
or the next place it may go.
So we hope this year you’ll FILL YOUR JAR,
AND SEND IT ON IT’S WAY . . .
To follow the Savior’s example,
and make Christmas HIS HOLIDAY!
May the TRUE meaning of Christmas
be with you throughout the year!

I tied a ribbon to the neck of the jar

and added the gift tag.

.....

This was one of my

favorite neighborhood gifts to give

because I knew it had the potential to

 BLESS

the lives of others in need.

It was truly a blessing for my family!

The Nativity Play!

Christmas Eve

is my FAVORITE part of Christmas!

I get so ExCiTeD I can hardly stand it.

I love Traditions and Christmas Eve seems to

have some of the best ones.

Our Christmas Eve Traditions consist of:

Games and Prizes

Amazing Food

A Visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus

The Christmas Eve P.J. Parade

and then the

BEST PART OF ALL....

The Nativity Play

followed by our

Secret Santa Delivery

and an

All Night Hallmark Movie Marathon

Slumber Party with the boys!

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

I created a new Nativity Set for this one,

and I have to say, IT'S MY FAVORITE!

So here it is, page by page:

Here's the PDF:

The Nativity Story Packet PDF

We have the kids in the family dress up

and read their parts.

For FHE I made a second set.

This one is one that can be held with little hands

and moved around.

Here they are...

Nativity Pieces Packet PDF

Bethlehem and Stable Packet PDF

The pieces can be Mod Podged to wood or chipboard.

This would be a fun gift for Visiting Teaching and

Home Teaching.

You could cut and laminate the pieces.  Attach a magnent

on the back and use it with a magnetic board, you could
print on magnetic paper. You could
attach them to tongue depressors, or
you could just give them a copy of the story.

Lots of possibilities!

The planner is coming...I PROMISE!
I just had to find a missing piece,
and today I did!
We had a lot of clean up after the serious wind storm
we had here in Farmington...but we are all still
standing and the power is back on so we
can go back to work!
Woot...Woot!
