my bishopric handed out a christmas letter today. there is a list of scriptures and a carol or message for each day. i thought i would type it up and add links to make it easier for my family and friends with their on the go schedules, to take a moment, when they have it, and focus on what christmas is truly about.

We wish you all a wonderful Christmas Season this year. May we reflect on what the birth of the Savior means throughout December. We are posting a list of Christmas scriptures, songs, and video clips that you and your family could use to help keep your thoughts focused on the Savior, during this fun, but sometimes distracting, time of year.
Jesus Christ is The Gift. He is the Son of God. He was born of Mary in the most humble of settings. He descended bellow all so he could understand us, no matter out circumstance or how low we sometimes feel. His atonement provides the way for us to overcome out sins, stay faithful through our weaknesses, and return to our Heavenly Father. Our hope is that we each find time during this busy season to share The Gift we love and hold so dear.
