My family is wonderful. This Christmas has been the best ever. The whole family together. Opportinties for service. Snow. Giving gifts. Playing games. Eating wonderful food! and best of all, I was able to have the Spirit of Christmas, in which i could happily be of service, and that i could be happy with gifts i recieved. Im embarassed to say that in years past, my focus would be on what i would be getting for Christmas. But this year i really could not think of anything i wanted other than what i felt i really needed. As a whole i just felt less excited about presents and more excited about family and Christmas – the opportunity to celebrate our Savior’s birth. I also love that opportunities for service arose. I feel that because I had a desire to help people out, Heavenly Father proveded such occasions.
I’ve finally learned how to have the Spirit of Christmas, and how to really celebrate Christmas.
Thanks for reading! Merry Christmas!
