This one is reflective of Jesus Christ and the price He paid for our sins. After all, without Him, there would be no Christmas!
I just thought this one was cute. It's Santa Claus baking cookies.
This one Jeremy got when he was about 3 years old while visiting his dad.
This one represents our faith in Christ, and also reflective of 1 Corinthians 13:13 (
