The Bell Still Rings For All Who Truly Believe

We asked some of our younger readers what they love about the holidays.

Henley, age 7

My favorite thing about the holidays is Christmas music.

 Logan, age 6

I love the holidays because we get to celebrate Jesus’s birthday and we get to open presents! I also love to make sugar cookies with my family.

Caroline, age 14

My favorite part of Christmas is baking my mom's famous ginger snap cookies, then relaxing by the fire with cookies and eggnog while the snow falls outside and the Chrsitmas tree sparkles.

Hallie, age 5

Because we get to eat candy canes.

Carter, age 11

I love the holidays because of the feelings of kindness that are spread throughout the world. I love that through all our struggles, the holidays are a time when we can all gather together with our loved ones.

Kaitlyn, age 18

My holidays are always filled with memories - having family over, eating all the food in the world, and being grateful for everything that has gotten us to where we are. Remembering Jesus's birth and what it means to me always stands close to me heart, and reflecting on His sacrifice is something I will never forget.
