I love Christmas, it is my favourite holiday!
Especially now that I live away from my family I value this time even more to
be with my family. I love the lights and decorations and Christmas carols. I
also love buying Christmas gifts, I don’t spend a lot of money on gifts but I
enjoy picking gifts for the special people on my list. This year I also made
two gifts which I think mean a lot to the people I made them for as well as for
me. For my parents I made a plaque with
a picture of the Cardston temple with the saying “Where families become forever”,
The Cardston temple is where my parents were sealed as well as having Melissa
and I sealed to them so it has a special meaning for our family. For my sister
and her husband I put together a scrapbook of their wedding photos. They were
married at Christmas time 6 years ago so I imagine that adds even more meaning
to their Christmas season. It’s also fun to discover what gifts people choose
for me. I also love Christmas dinner! J
However, what I love most about Christmas is reflecting on
the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We know that Christ wasn’t born on
December 25 but it’s when his birth is recognized and I think that should be
embraced throughout the world. I am grateful for the Saviors example that we
are shown in the scriptures and for his gospel. I know that it is through Jesus
Christ that peace comes to me personally and can where peace can be established
on the earth.
