WINTER NIGHTS OF STORIES BRIGHT....

The long, cold nights of winter are perfect times for individuals and families to gather around glowing candles or flickering fireplaces and share stories of childhood, the fish that got away, or tales of heroes and tricksters.
To get started here are some ideas: tell your children the story of how they were born, why they bear their name, how mom and dad met, share the story of how you learned to ride a bike, your friends as a child, or your favorite memory...gather with friends and the school yearbook and let the stories flow!....encourage children and teens to share stories they have learned....use stories to teach values of courage, faith, love, and kindness...share the things your families values by sharing the stories of your history...create traditions for your family to treasure for generations....
