We had a wonderful Christmas this year and we tried pretty hard to concentrate more on Christ. We provided service, went caroling, donated toys, read a nativity story almost every night, read the birth account from the bible, reenacted the birth story and had FHE's all month long focused on the real reason for the season. In the coming years, and as the kids get a bit older, I'd like to do some kind of Sub for Santa where the kids can really get involved with helping others.
I love this time of year and am so grateful to a loving Heavenly Father who would send his only begotten son to earth, to live, to heal, to teach, to suffer, and to live again. How blessed we are to have the knowledge of his restored gospel in our lives. Merry CHRISTmas!
