On the cover of this issue you will see a family putting together a Nativity set. You can make your own set by gluing these pages to heavy paper and cutting out the figures. As you set up the scene, read the story of the Savior’s birth in Luke 2.

So begins my month of Christmas-themed columns. My first installment looks at some gift ideas, courtesy of some wonderful sites and creative bloggers.And I just must start with the new gift from the First Presidency, announced during the annual Christmas Devotional: the beautiful, new “Bible Videos” website that gifts us all with some marvelous new videos (six so far!) depicting the birth of Jesus Christ. And the gift will just keep giving since, as Larry Richman of LDS Media Talk explains, “During the coming months, more videos will be added to this inspiring collection, which will eventually include over 100 videos depicting scenes from Christ’s life, ranging from the angel foretelling Christ’s birth to the Savior’s Resurrection.” What a perfect present to share with those who love this Christmas season. Please watch and please pass on. http://desne.ws/uAffvs
