Christmas

As I was out shopping and going crazy trying to get ready for Christmas, I stopped and thought. Why do we go through all this trouble for one holiday? The thought that occurred to me was this. We go to all this trouble because for one day we can give of ourselves to others. For one day we can strive to bring smiles to those we love and care about. For one day we can stop and remember our savior Jesus Christ. I pray that we will always refer to this special holiday as Christmas. It is so important that we try to live the spirit of Christmas everyday. It is important that we take time out of our busy lives to stop and think of others. It is exciting to me to think that for this one day we all share something very special. That special something is Christmas and the spirit that goes with it.
