“Our hope is to capture the true spirit of Christmas for
ourselves and for those we love. That spirit is characterized by peace—not
political peace, for the Savior was born at a time of fear and unrest so great
that His family had to flee as refugees into Egypt; not economic peace, for He
was born in a stable and laid in a humble manger; and not even the peace that
comes when all the packages are wrapped, the trees decorated, and the table
set, because that peace is only momentary. The peace of Christmas is “the peace
of God, which passeth all understanding.” It is the peace that the Apostle Paul
promised would “keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” And Paul was
right. That peace we seek is only through and because of Jesus Christ.” –
President Henry B. Eyring
