Can you believe it? Thanksgiving already at our door step! It seems like we just started school and here we are heading into the busy Christmas season. There's: music in the air, laughter from the children, children trying really hard to be good, adults with short tempers trying to be patient, people sneaking around telling fibs to avoid being caught doing acts of kindness, baking aroma wafting in and out of rooms from lighted candles and baked goods, hiding gifts hoping you'll remember where you put them when its time to put them under the tree, telling the Christmas story while setting up the manger, acting out the story, and getting together as family and friends, and remembering the sweet spirit that comes from giving. Yes, Christmas and Thanksgiving is a time for all these things. I pray as you enter into this wonderful season you remember all the many choice blessings and feelings we enjoy because of the blessed event of the Savior's birth.
