  1. A person with brown hair is giving the green box with a doll inside.

  2. The red box either contains a ball or a book.

  3. Jared’s loved one lives in a place where it gets cold.

  4. Julia is bringing a book but would never use red or blue wrapping paper.

  5. The mittens are in a purple box.

  6. Sara is giving candy to her loved one.

Contest: Decorate a Christmas Sweater

Our most important Christmas traditions help us focus on the real reason for the holiday—the Savior. Other traditions might help us connect with our family and friends.

In some cultures, family and friends bond at Christmastime by wearing “ugly” Christmas sweaters (they usually have lots of clashing colors and patterns). Design your own Christmas sweater and email it to ftsoy@ChurchofJesusChrist.org for a chance to be featured!
