Merry, Merry Christmas

For God so Loved the Word . . . that means you, me, all the Anziano and Sorella's, all of us that He gave His Son for us.  For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given . . .  May we each remember that Jesus Christ, his birth, life, teachings and His Atonement is the reason we celebrate this season. May we remember as Scrooge did, to keep this very Spirit of Christmas with us each day for the next year.
 Also, as seen in the picture, Christmas is about family, a father, Joseph, a mother, Mary, and the birth of their first born son, Jesus.  I hope we celebrate with our families, those with us and those far away in our hearts this year. May we all come closer to Christ in the coming year; may we receive of His image in our own countenance, may we be more like Him as we strive through His atonement to become more like Him.  Then we each will find peace on earth, I promise.
