Luke 2: 8-11

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

We don’t all observe the same traditions, enjoy the same dishes, or even call these winter holidays by the same names, but surely we share an appreciation of how these months pull us together. cheers to that.

to make:

punch two small holes in the top, thread ribbon through the holes to tie the print-out to candy canes with a simple bow. then, i hang the candy canes on a little tree for display. you could use this idea, or hang the candy canes across a string or twine between two points on a garland. you could also make them into bookmarks. cheers to a glorious season. xo.
