Dec 2023 Ministering Handout

Happy Holidays everyone! 

Hope all is well and you are filled with the Christmas spirit! 

Our family is getting started with our annual Sinter Klaas Party the first weekend of December.  It is always a fun way to welcome in the Christmas season.  This tradition started after our oldest son came home from his mission to The Netherlands and we have been doing it ever since!  We have had to change up what we do to adjust for the ages of our grandchildren, but everyone seems to love it and we don’t have to compete with the other families for a date!!

Merry Christmas everyone!  Hope you enjoy the Dec 2022 Ministering Handouts!

This time of year is always so crazy hectic for me.  It seems like we have all of our activities the first week of Dec!  After that I can usually settle in a little more and enjoy the holidays.  I know that some of you have a hard time with the holidays and I totally get that.  It can be a wonderful time and it can be a very difficult time.  I pray that whatever situation you are in that you will feel the love of the Savior and that he can warm your heart.

This month I chose a talk from the 2011 Christmas Devotional by President Thomas S. Monson.

This is a re-post from a couple of years ago, but I think that it is a fun way to start off the season by sharing some of our favorite Christmas Traditions!

  This is a lengthy post, but you have all weekend…right? :) 

One of our Christmas traditions that we do is to donate blankets and quilts to one of our local hospitals.  We start this in November or even before.  I try to make a few quilted quilts and then we all tie several fringed fleece blankets. (click on link for tutorial on how to make these easy fleece blankets)  This year I did a few quilted quilts for our ward Humanitarian Project.

(I love this cute picture!!!  My grandson was only 2 1/2 years old in this picture, he is now almost 8 years old!)
