Fix the Ornament Mix-Up
Around the world, many people celebrate the Savior’s birth by decorating Christmas trees. Can you tell which three ornaments are not like the others?
An Angelic Match
In the New Testament and the Book of Mormon, angels testify of the Christmas story: the Savior’s birth and other connected events, like the birth of John the Baptist. Match what the angel said with the person it was declared to and then with what the person said or did.
Need help? Check out Matthew 1:18–25, Luke 1:13–38, Luke 2:8–18, and 1 Nephi 11:14–23.
