Merry Christmas 2006!

For a few moments, may we set aside the catalogs of Christmas, with their gifts of exotic description. Let's even turn from the flowers for Mother, the special tie for Father, the cute doll, the train that whistles, the long-awaited bicycle—even the books and videos—and direct our thoughts to God-given gifts that endure.
Thomas S. Monson
Today our family that received a piece of the nativity from us wilmagicallyly find a brown simple box in the back of all their presents, with the last piece of the Nativity, the Christ Child. As we packaged the last piece it was a great reminder of what we celebrate on this special day.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

That's a cool way to finish your 12 days of Christmas with them. I want to do this next year!

Merry Christmas, Kristi and Cutler family! So fun reading about your beautiful Christmas traditions. I love the quote by Elder Monson. Sitting around our tree last night, talking about the "true meaning" of this season will be my favorite Christmas memory this year. I hope my boys (me, too) will always remember WHO this is all about.

Happy 2007!

I love that you had the last gift hidden under their tree. I wanted to do this nativity 12 days of Christmas last year but never could find a good set. Where did you get yours?
