A blue one!

Oh, a blue one. What do you want for Christmas?

Hot wheels!

Hot wheels, fun! Well, do you know who the most important person to give gifts to at Christmas time is?

Annelise?

Ya!

No, we can’t. Because Jesus is in heaven. So what does Jesus want for Christmas?

Hot wheels!

Haha, okay. But what we can give Jesus is–

Carson like hot wheels.

Okay. Now what we can give Jesus is service, like we talked about. Doing nice things for each other. That’s what Jesus wants for Christmas.

Carson like hot wheels.
