"Christmas means giving. The Father gave his Son, and the Son gave His life. Without giving there is no true Christmas,
and without sacrifice there is no true worship."

Tuesday Tell All - This Christmas
I love this quote about Christmas:
“This year, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again.”
― Howard W. Hunter
So, what is something you want to change this Christmas?

Motherhood, the First Assurance
"Motherhood is the greatest potential influence for good or ill in human life. The mother’s image is the first that stamps itself on the unwritten page of the young child’s mind. It is her caress that first awakens a sense of security; her kiss, the first realization of affection; her sympathy and tenderness, the first assurance that there is love in the world."
~David O. McKay~

I Believe
"I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I cannot feel it. I believe in God even when He is silent."

An Ideal Christmas
"There is no ideal Christmas; only the one Christmas you decide to make as a reflection of your values, desires, affections, traditions."
~Bill McKibben
