Christmas Morning

Our Christmas morning traditions consist of eating muffins for breakfast while Dad reads an account of the Savior's birth from the scriptures. Each year he chooses a different account to read whether it's from the Bible or the Book of Mormon. Then I read a children's book about His birth for the younger ones. Then we open the small box which has some pictures of gifts our Heavenly Father and Savior have given to us and talk about them briefly. And last, we open the large box which is our gift to the Savior. We do a family home evening early in December about service and how that's the best gift we can give the Savior as we celebrate his birth. We challenge the girls to try and fill the box with warm fuzzies (to represent the acts of service they do) before December 25th. It's the perfect way to begin the day, remembering the most important reason for Christmas.
