We look forward to the Christmas lesson all year and now it’s here!
Begin the lesson by reading the openings paragraphs on page 194 of the manual. Read or summarize the story of Christ’s birth from Matthew and Luke. Study the picture in the manual and imagine what it was like when Christ was born.
As you read the Christmas story you can let each family member hang up a piece of the nativity scene on the wall. As you hang up each piece sing the Christmas song that is listed on it. You can laminate the pieces ahead of time to make them more durable.

Older children can do the Mystery Scripture Story to mark the Christmas story in their scriptures.
Also included in your lesson bundle is a Christmas coloring page.

There are more ideas in the manual on page 196 to include in your studying this week. Prayerfully choose some that will bless your family. We encourage you to spend time with your loved ones and focus on the reason for the season.

The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ renewed the truth that Christ was born to save all mankind. Through His mortal ministry, His suffering in Gethsemane and on the cross, His ministry in the Spirit World, and His resurrection, He offers healing to all our sorrows and pains. What greater gift could we be given than that?
Every family comes with their own set of trials and blessings. Parents and children alike have both memorable times together, as well as times in which forgiveness is needed to move forward in love and harmony. As the Proclamation teaches, Jesus Christ is the key to strengthening bonds and repairing relationships that break: “Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ultimately, all we do as a family in righteousness prepares us to live with God, exalted, as a family in heaven.
Though we have reached the end of the Doctrine and Covenants, the work of the Restoration is still ongoing: “We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God” (Articles of Faith 1:9). Prophets still reveal the will of God. The Church is still growing to fill the Earth.
