(Gina Prisbrey) You can sit in a circle, then put all the candy in the center. Read the story and whenever you name a candy, anyone who wants can grab that candy to keep!  Another way is to pick the candy out of a bag, while reading the story, and pass it to someone on the right. Then keep passing it until the end of the story. Whichever candy you are left with is yours.  I've done this for an extended Family Home Evening, and it was a blast!  (I had a hard time finding the COWTAILS. Wal-Mart carries them by the check stands.)
 

 
Mary and Joseph were SWEETARTS engaged to be married. One day Joseph said, "Mary, you're starting to look a little CHUNKY. Mary explained that she was pregnant with a SPECIAL child. "Can we name the BABY RUTH??," Joseph asked. "No," said Mary, His name is Jesus."  Now there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be TWIXED, so Joseph and Mary had to travel to the city DAVID, (SUNFLOWER SEEDS) which was called Bethlehem. It was a very ROCKY ROAD, no 5TH AVENUE for sure. Mary was ready to have the baby, but they couldn't find anyplace to stay. They even asked one innkeeper if there was any room in the tavern and he just laughed and said, "U-NO You can sleep in the stable with the ANIMAL CRACKERS and COW TAILS and maybe a few KIT KATS. So Mary gave birth to the baby Jesus and laid him in the manger.  And there were in the same country shepherds watching their flocks by night. (sing) "The First Noel the angels did say was to CERTS poor shepherds in fields as they lay." Then the shepherds heard the heavenly SYMPHONY begin to play as the Heavenly hosts began to sing ALMOND JOY to the world the Lord is come. The shepherds were told they could find the baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. Now also at this time there were MUSKETEERS. (who were somewhat AIRHEADS). Their names were MIKE and IKE, They were a bit NERDS-y and SLIM JIM and..... and..... OH! HENRY! Well, MIKE AND IKE said "LOOK, what's that bright DOT in the MILKY WAY?" Jim scratched his head, "I think it's WHACAHMACALLIT ....... um......MARS." Mike and Henry started to SNICKER. They realized it was it was the STARBURST that was to appear when the Son of God was born.  They decided to journey to see the child. They also decided to take gifts to the baby. MIKE AND IKE went through their things and decided to give the baby GOLD, so the gathered 100 THOUSAND DOLLARS. Henry went through his things and decided to give the baby something sweet, so he took a little BIT-O-HONEY. Jim went through his MOUNDS of junk and TREASURES but couldn't decided what to give. He couldn't go to the store because PAYDAY was next week and he wanted to give the baby something GOOD AND PLENTY of it.  The three SKITTLED on their way and as they traveled, Jim kept trying to think of something he could give Joseph and Mary and the Baby Jesus.  Mike gave his GOLD COINS to the child, then Henry offered his BIT-O-HONEY, but when it came Jim's turn, he asked if he could hold the baby, "But you're such a BUTTERFINGERS said Mike and IKE and Henry agreed.  Mary said she thought it would be all right, so as Jim picked up the Son of God he knew what to give. He KISSED the baby and then KISSED him again, and again, and again. Jim realized that the most special gift he could give was love.  Remember Jesus is the true REISEN for the season.

(...If you need more candy, so everyone has one, you can add another candy each time one of the shepherds are named.)
