Here are some ideas:
- One ward set this as a goal and decorated a tree with ornaments symbolizing each ordinance completed. You can read more here.
- Give the gift of temple work to just one of your immediate relatives. Here is an inspiring story of a very young boy in the Philippines who came to the temple at Christmas to do work for his father. You can also read this story from the New Era.
- Give the gift of family history to your own family members. This could be scrapbooks, digitized photos, copies of important family documents, and so forth. Here are some ideas from Legacy Tree Genealogists.
- Participate in family and cultural traditions. This could include eating traditional food, participating in traditional holiday activities (such as lighting advent candles), putting on a nativity play with the children or grandchildren, and so forth. Share with the younger members of the family the reasons your family participates in these activities at Christmastime. Here are articles from the Ensign and from the FamilySearch Blog that share other ideas.
- Visit one or more of the Christmas displays at the area temples. Here is information about the Christmas activities at Temple Square this year.
- Create a Family History Advent Calendar. This could include participating in traditional family activities, making memories, indexing names for FamilySearch as a family, attending the temple, creating family history gifts, making ornaments as a family, watching old home movies, and so forth.
- Enjoy a family reunion. Share stories of your ancestors and create new memories. Record interviews with family members and post them in the "Memories" section of FamilySearch.
