'Tis the season

3:26 PM

'Tis the season to be happy. I love how Christmas time is magical. Friends, family, food - What's not to love? However the older I get, the more I love the simplicity of Christmas. In essence, it is a time meant to focus on the birth of the Savior. I love that people are a little nicer, a little less selfish, a little more forgiving. That really is the true spirit of Christmas. L-O-V-E.

"There is no better time than now, this very Christmas season, for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus the Christ. It is the time to love the Lord our God with all our heart — and our neighbors as ourselves. It is well to remember that he who gives money gives much, he who gives time gives more, but he who gives of himself gives all. Let this be a description of our Christmas gifts." - Thomas S. Monson
