After discovering this cute poem I decided to design a handout for it. The handout is 5x7 and has enough white space to tape a full sized candy cane to.

Look at the Candy Cane

What do you see?

Stripes that are red like the

blood shed for me.

White for my Savior

so sinless and pure.

"J" is for Jesus, my Lord

strong and sure. 

Turn it around and a

staff you will see.

He's the Good Shepherd 

that's calling to me.

Join with us in 25 days of service leading up to the celebration of Christ's birth! From the website:

 #LightTheWorld is an invitation to transform Christmas into a season of service. Join us as we follow the example of Jesus Christ by ministering to others one by one—just like He did.

You can download a calendar from the website that is already filled out with service prompts or you can write your own ideas into the blank calendar I've created. I designed this calendar, free for your personal use just for this event. Just click on the calendar below.

This one is especially engaging for kids. Perhaps they can write down one small act of service they can do for someone every day this month leading up to Christmas and then they can put a sticker on each block when it's been accomplished. Merry Christmas!
