I just realized on Sunday in my 7:00 AM meeting, that Christmas is approaching very fast! I am still the Ward Activities Director and once again my committee has been taken away from me. I have a few people that are going to be called but I don't have anything planned. I lost my old committee members before we planned Christmas. I was thinking about doing a breakfast for our ward party. I have the building reserved for Saturday the 13th. (Unless it too gets taken. I originally had it for the 6th but found out at my stake meeting that someone else also thought they had it and already had things planned). Oh well, it gives me another week to plan. What do you think about a breakfast? I have a bag of pancake mix that never got opened from our ward campout. It's already payed for and my budget is pretty low. I was also thinking of maybe having a toys for tots drive, a table to write notes to missionaries, and instead of Santa have the Bishopric dressed as the Three Wisemen and they hand out the treat bags. I'm hoping to find a Large Nativity scene with a manger if anyone has one of those. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks in advance!

I think that a breakfast is a great idea! And all your other ideas are great too! I thought you had Angela and Bryce? Good luck, I am willing to help if you need any.
hi elizabeth,
the hatfields have an awesome set of painted cardboard backdrops for a nativity scene. they are happy to lend it out when they know their stuff will be loved and well cared for....both of which i know you would do. also, i think your ideas are great! a breakfast is a fun idea and pretty easy to pull off....except in the melba building where we blow fuses every time we hook up a waffle maker!
good luck!

Beth, I think your ideas all sound really great. When is your activity? I love the idea of writing the missionaries a letter and incorporating some kind of service (like the Toys for Tots idea) for Christmas. It's nice to remember not EVERYTHING is about a present this time of year!
