As you may have noticed, my day to blog here on the agency blog is Wednesday. I was utterly delighted when I realized that my blog fell on Christmas! If there is any one day of the year that is my absolute favorite, it’s Christmas. I have so many wonderful memories of Christmas…not just the day, but the whole season. My mom was the absolute queen of celebrations, and she knew how to do Christmas right. How to share the joy and wonder of the season, how to let Christ’s light and love shine through her smile and her tender touch. And my dad filled our holidays with the most wondrous advent devotions, music, and laughter. So yes, I love Christmas. My prayer for each of you this year is that you feel Christmas as never before. That the purest blessing of what we’re celebrating—the advent of our Savior!—will overflow every moment of today for you and your family.

A Merry, merry Christmas to you, my friends.

And here’s a video for you to share. May it delight and move you as it did me.
