December 12, 2010

Today was a good day, here in Utah it felt like spring instead of winter the Temperature was 55 degrees today and clear blue skies.  What a wonderful day to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Later in the day I took Christmas cookies around to friends which is a family tradition of ours.  I love to bake anything from cakes, cookies, and breads, to chocolate covered candy.

I love this time of year as it is the Birth of our savior Jesus Christ.  “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.”
The Christmas season is wonderful in many ways. It is a season of charitable acts of kindness and brotherly love. It is a season of being more reflective about our own lives and about the many blessings that are ours. It is a season of forgiving and being forgiven. It is a season to enjoy the music and lights, parties and presents. But the glitter of the season should never dim our sight and prevent us from truly seeing the Prince of Peace in His majesty.  Let us all make this year’s Christmas season a time of rejoicing and celebration, a time when we acknowledge the miracle that our Almighty God sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem the world. 

I would like to End this wonderful Sunday with a question to you all who may view my blog.

What family traditions do you have at Christmas Time? What do you like most about Christmas?

Sincerely
