"The Christmas season can seem hectic, but the angels sang of 'peace on earth'. In what ways do you find peace in your celebration of Christmas?" (Dec 2009 Ensign, p 34)
This year I have been kind of a scrooge about Christmas thinking that the season just brought more to do. I came across this quote the other day which reminded me I just need to adjust my attitude. "Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in merry is to have the real Spirit of Christmas." Calvin Coolidge
Then a quote from President Monson in the Ensign further reminded me what I needed to do to this Christmas season. "The Christmases we remember best usually have little to do with worldly goods but a lot to do with the spirit of caring, the spirit of love, and the spirit of compassion."
