Merry Christmas Everyone!

Just wanted to share a quick video…He Is The Gift.

This is from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is a couple of years old, but I could watch it again and again! Hope you enjoy it too!

May we all remember the reason for the season. Share your love and yourself with others and make this a Christmas to remember!

Love you all and hope that your holidays are filled with peace, love and family.

I know that there are many out there that do not find joy in the holidays. I hope that you can find peace in your heart and that you will let the true meaning of Christmas fill the empty spots. The Savior is the reason we have so much to celebrate.
