Christmas means giving, joy, laughter, not stealing, learning of Jesus' birth, caroling, having Christmas lights in my bedroom window, decorating gingerbread houses, and doing family activities together.

Christmas means giving to others, love, drawing Christmas pictures for friends and family, drinking hot cocoa with a candy cane and a lot of marshmellows in it, watching Christmas movies with my family, and singing Christmas songs at school.

Some of the Christmas traditions that we have are acting out and telling the Christmas story, picking angels off the Christmas tree to buy gifts for others, hanging up Christmas lights, decorating our Christmas tree in November, picking out a new ornament for the tree, reading Christmas books, drinking hot cocoa...even occasionally for breakfast, going to the temple lights, seeing the Nutcracker, sending out Christmas cards, and making a gingerbread house for FHE.
Brad showed up with all the ingredients to make his families special Coach Meyers fudge. He made fudge with the kids while I was giving my final presentation at ASU last Tuesday night. He got containers of fudge ready to deliver to friends in my ward. Brad's family gives out Christams fudge every year. The kids loved making fudge with him!

I loved reading about all your Christmas traditions! Isn't this time of year the best?! What a great idea to ask the kids what the meaning of Christmas is to them. I loved their responses!
Oh and where's my fudge? Just kidding ; ) Love all the blog updates!
