Drawing on scripture, prophetic counsel, and years of workshops, she offers six practical steps—including her signature 'three wise gifts' tradition—to help LDS families simplify gift giving, serve others, teach with symbolism, and build quality traditions centered on the Savior. Packed with hundreds of concrete ideas, this warm, testimony-driven guide helps families put Christ back into Christmas. The 'three wise gifts' rule: give each child only three presents—one to use, one to amuse, one to cherish One mom's honest confession of every failed Christmas until she found the answer Hundreds of ready-to-use ideas for service, traditions, and symbolism A battle plan to defeat materialism, commercialism, and busyness this Christmas “We spend money we don't have to buy things we don't need, to impress people we don't like, who don't come over.”Perfect for an LDS mother feeling overwhelmed and dissatisfied by Christmas materialism who wants practical, faith-based ways to make the season simpler and more Christ-centered.
