This Christmas I am trying really hard to remember the TRUE meaning of Christmas. In primary on Sunday one of the cutest little 5 yr old boys gave the most beautiful talk about Christmas. I believe it was a mesage from the First Presidency to the Primary Children. It talked about not focusing on the decorations, the tree, the gifts and so on but remembering Christ. We live in a very material world and it is very important to remember Christ and teach our children about Christ and that He is the reason for the Christmas Season. This year where budgets are tight I have really tried to get good gifts that will be used and worth the money spent. Every year I feel that I need to spend a certain amount of money per person and this year I have tried really hard no to do that. I have gotten gifts that I hope will be appreciated and not looked at by how much money was spent.
Enjoy your Christmas and don't forget to think about Jesus Christ. We need to remember that he suffered and died for us. I can't imagine what it would be like. Could I let my child go through that? I honestly don't know.
I hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas!

How true! It is easy to get caught up in feeling like you need to spend a lot of money, but I'll tell you that my family had one of our best Christmases ever, and we spent only $18 on gifts for Kenley. :)
