So here I was thinking that I was going to have all of this free time on my hands that I would need to fill. Boy was I wrong. I have had a more lax schedule however most of that has been spent with my amazing husband now that we get to see each other for more than an hour a day! It is wonderful. With the Christmas season nearly over I realized that I should really post something about Christmas and what a wonderful time of year it is.
Aaron and I have been talking a lot lately about the Christmas traditions we would like to start in our family since our little family is about to start. We had the chance to watch the Christmas devotional last night, better late than never, and I loved how much they talked about keeping Christ in Christmas. At first I was thinking, that seems harder and harder to do and yet then I realized how easy it has been for Aaron and I to keep Christ in our Christmas after all. the little things we did really made the spirit of Christmas. We have been visiting friends and building relationships, we have spent more time with each other and sang Christmas hymns in the evening. We have read our scriptures and watched the First Presidency's Christmas Devotional. We have set up my the nativity scene and tied to find ways to serve each other and those around us. We have sung and talked about Christ. I realized that it isn't always one big act of service or moment that makes Christmas Christmas but all of the little things during the season that help us remember or Savior.
I hope that everyone gets to enjoy the little moments of this season and the beautiful time of year it is. I am forever grateful for the sacrifice of my Savior and the joy of celebrating his birth each year. Merry Christmas! And may everyone find Christ in Christmas this year. Please feel free to comment about the little things you enjoy during the Christmas season.
