Most kids love December. Usually that is when the first snow falls. What fun to build an iglu, start a snow ball fight, use a sledge to ride down a slope or even go ice skating etc.

What kids also love about December is Christmas. It is the time where families come together to celebrate, eat and enjoy Christmas festivities. For kids the highlight is receiving gifts!

Why do we give gifts to each other? This old custom harks back to the understanding of the meaning of Christmas. With Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. He was and is God’s wonderful and free gift to mankind.
