There is no better time than now, this very Christmas
season, for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus
the Christ. It is the time to love the Lord our God with all our heart, and our
neighbors as ourselves. It is well to remember that he who gives money gives
much; he who gives time gives more; but he who gives of himself gives all. Let
us make Christmas real. It isn’t just tinsel and ribbon, unless we have made it
so in our lives. Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of
getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self
and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the
true values. It is peace because we have found peace in the Savior’s teachings.
It is the time we realize most deeply that the more love is expended, the more
there is of it for others. – Thomas S. Monson
