President Monson’s Christmas Message

Last night was the First Presidency Christmas Devotional. I loved what Thomas S. Monson had to say so I am sharing it with you. His topic was about Christmas and how we need to think more of Christ. He says, “Christmas is becoming more commercial and it is all about the marketing, sales, parties, presents, and Santa Claus. Christmas is what we make of it. You can establish traditions that keep Christ in Christmas! A tradition we do in our family is read scripture verses from the Bible that have to do with Christ’s birth. Happiness will come to us when we give and serve others and not by being selfish. Loving one another, giving, serving, kindness and most importantly CHRIST is what Christmas is all about.” Now after President Monson gave the these words I know that I will try harder to keep Christ in Christmas. -Maddy
