* Go to church and help the young saints make edible manger scenes. This is a tradition at our church and is led by Mr. Frey, the junior high Sunday school teacher. He brings graham crackers, pretzels, animal crackers, chocolate gars, gum drops, marshmallows, cereal, and other goodies to craft original manager scenes out of food. Then they eat them!
* Watch Shirley Temple movies, such as STOWAWAY (1936). Tagline: "She sings and speaks Chinese!"
* Wrap Christmas gifts with our homemade paper (more in a future post regarding our gift "rules" for the war).
* Sing Christmas carols to shut-ins from the congregation. A small group from the church visited nursing facilities, assisted living apartments, rehabilitation centers, and some private homes to spread Christ's love. We sang traditional carols accompanied on two guitars -- I think it's War Time Christmas appropriate!!

| Nom, nom, nom! Christmas! |

| I don't speak Chinese, and neither does Shirley. |

| Homemade gift wrap embellished with ribbon from our craft cabinet! |

| A merry band of carolers! |
