Last Wednesday night the Mission Friends had Christmas Around the World night! They visited Germany, Mexico and Australia. Each child was given a "passport" and when they arrived in a country, their passport was stamped. The children loved this!
In Germany they heard a story and had a snack that related to how Father Christmas fills shoes with candy and small toys. In Australia, they played Pin the Star on the Christmas tree because the Australians decorate Christmas trees like we do in America. They also decorated each other like a candy cane. :) In Mexico, the children heard about the Legend of the Poinsettia and made a cute poinsettia craft to take home. Each child was given a poinsettia ornament to take home as well.
It was a fun filled night and the children had a blast visiting the different countries. Excitement filled the halls as parents arrived to pick up and the children began showing and telling them all about what they did!
Here are a few pictures:
