This document summarizes ways that children can show gratitude to Jesus at Christmas through acts of kindness, praise, and thankfulness. It discusses how Jesus came to earth out of love, and that children can remember this by praising Jesus, thanking him for specific gifts, and looking for ways to spread love to others in need. The document ends with a prayer asking Jesus to help children be "superheroes of kindness" this Christmas season.
