Tonight we hung the Candy Cane ornament. The Candy Cane symbolizes Missionary Work. It represents the Shepherd's hook, which represents our Savior's work here on earth, and how as the Shepherd, He gently guided straying lambs back to the fold. The color red symbolizes love and the sacrifice of our Savior's life for all mankind. The color white symbolizes His pureness and how through repentance and through forgiveness we can become pure as well.
For our family activity, we made a Santa Box.
It's made from a shoe box, wrapping paper, cardboard, and cotton balls. It will hold Santa's cookies on Christmas Eve.We read Why Christmas Trees Aren't Perfect for our nightly Christmas story.
It's a great story about the love of Christ expressed on earth, and how the true meaning of His work and mission here was about unconditional love and service to His fellow man. "For, as many of us, the trees have learned that living for the sake of others makes us most beautiful in the eyes of God."
