I was trying to think of a way to incorporate the true meaning of Christmas into our Christmas tree yesterday, and I made some little ornaments that were super easy, fast, and cheap. I went to the LDS bookstore and bought a variety of small pictures of Christ. They were $.25-$.50 each. I punched a hole at the top of each one and tied a loop of ribbon and a bow. I then looked up a scripture to go with each picture, typed them up, then cut them out. For FHE we took turns pulling a scripture out of a container, reading it, then picking the ornament that went with the scripture. Then we hung the ornaments on the tree. It was super fun, and I really like how the pictures of the Savior add to our tree. We put a larger picture of Baby Jesus ($2.00) near the center of our tree, and it is gorgeous! I think I'll add more scriptures and ornaments next year. I just wanted to pass the idea along in case anyone else wanted to try it!
