Light It Up!
There are so many things to love about Christmas - music, presents, decorations, bad sweaters, and crazy uncle Sal dressed as Santa! And to top it all, the twinkling lights. Christmas is something referred to as the season of light. Not just because of the colorful lights you see hanging on houses and tress, but because we celebrate the birth of Jesus - the Light of the World. During "Light It Up!," kids will get clues about the contents of a present. At the flip of a switch, the present will light up, magically revealing the contents and shedding light on the amazing story of Jesus' birth.
