Show and Tell

A jar of money was left on our doorstep with a red bow around it to help my family with our Christmas. It made me feel happy, so I thought how could I help someone else have a special Christmas. I decided to give my new pretty hair bows to a girl in my neighborhood.

There was a new boy on our bus getting teased. I asked him to come sit by us, and soon we were laughing and having fun together. Later that day, I realized it was a day of service for #LightTheWorld.

Daxton J., age 9, Utah, USA

For the #LightTheWorld project, each member of our family wrote down on a light bulb what we did each day. It helped us to think more about the true meaning of Christmas.

I built a Nativity out of blocks to be a part of our ward’s display of over 500 Nativities! Members of the community came and celebrated the Christmas season at our church.

My great-grandma didn’t have a Christmas tree, so we brought her one. And I made the ornaments for it!

My school donated blankets to children during the holidays. We decided to make our blanket for a family home evening. It was fun!

Our family gets together to make a special gingerbread building for the Christmas season. It’s fun, and we like to help by eating it!

Around Christmas, I got to go to a nursing home to do family home evening. I liked seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces. (Elijah)
