Christmas Story FHE

My mom took our Christmas card pictures, and we stayed for dinner. And my sister and her kids and their dog, came over to join us. It was a lot of fun. The best part about the holidays is getting together with family. In my family, we have a tradition where we read a couple of stories on Christmas Eve, but it always seems so long and it is hard for the kids (and some of us adults, too!) to sit through. So this year, we decided to have an "FHE" where we read two of the stories to make it not as long on Christmas Eve. We read "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and "The Polar Express." My mom then gave us each our bell to remind us to believe in Santa Clause, and to believe in Jesus Christ. This way is better because then we get to wear our bell throughout the month to show that we believe!
