No one remembered who had the scripture and prayer and talk for this week at Primary, so they asked the older girls if they would do it. Emma volunteered to give the talk. She did this completely on the fly and on her own. This is sort of how it went: This month we are celebrating Christmas. Jesus was born on Christmas day and so we celebrate it. The angels cames to tell the shepherds about Jesus' birth and they came to see him. A lot of people get good this month, because Santa claus is coming with presents and that is good, because if you are bad all year long then that would be bad. So it is good to get good this month. I think she noticed me laughing at this point and quickly ended and sat down. I am such a bad mom!
The second counselor and I decided that it was actually a very deep sermon, brought down to the level of the children. It was all really an allegory of Jesus and how he was born and brought us the great gift of eternal life. If we are bad our whole lives that would be bad, but if we use his gift of repentance, even at the "last month" of our lives than that would be good and we will receive the gifts he came to bring us.
Her friend mentioned that she forgot to tell about the wise men and told her how she would have done much better. I told her that the wise men didn't come for about 2 years, so she didn't forget it at all and that girl could talk to the hand!
I will leave you with this thought. You better not pout, you better not cry, you better not frown, I'm telling you why. Santa Claus is coming to town! He sees you when you are sleeping, he knows when your awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sakes!
