Shepherd's Supper

I wanted to try something new this year. I wanted to have a simple dinner, kind of like what would have been eaten back when the Savior was born, and talk with the kids about what it would have been like to be one of the Shepherd's. We had such a wonderful experience. We ate by candlelight under the Christmas tree. We talked about the Shepherd's and what Mary and Joseph must have felt like on their journey to Bethlehem and after Jesus was born. But we also talked a lot about our month of doing Light the World and what we learned from it. We loved our evening so much, the kids asked as soon as it was over if we could do this every year. And yes, we definitely will.
