Christmas is coming...


President Thomas S. Monson, First Counselor in the First Presidency, said
Christmas is “a time for families, it is a time for remembering, it is a time for gratitude. “The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love and of generosity and of goodness. … The spirit of Christmas is something I hope all of us would have within our hearts and within our lives, not only at this particular season but throughout the year.”
President Monson said that when we keep the spirit of Christmas, we keep the Spirit of Christ. “The salutation ‘no room’ was not only heard by Joseph and Mary before the birth of Jesus, but was also endured by Him on frequent occasions in His ministry,”
President Monson said. “In our homes today we have rooms for eating, rooms for sleeping, rooms for recreation.
Do we have room for Christ?
We have time for … activities that are part of our daily lives.
Do we have time for Christ?”
