Making garland to decorate our house and Christmas tree has been a tradition in my family since I was little... popcorn, pretty sparkly beads, and other items were used to make decorations. I have continued this tradition and this year I decided to make my garland out of 24 origami paper cranes, due to their representation of peace. On the wings of each crane I have written scriptures and special messages of peace and hope. Each day counting down to Christmas I read the message on that crane, enjoying the holiday spirit!!

...and with this message of peace and hope, that so beautifully sums up the Christmas Spirit of all the entries you have shared with us - we send you all our warmest Christmas wishes from Copenhagen, Denmark.
