The Christmas Spirit

Christmas for me always starts early, I love the sounds and sights of the season and the joy that it brings.   A highlight of the Christmas season is the First Presidency Christmas Devotional when I hear the words of latter-day prophets and their thoughts and feelings of the season.  It is always nice to remember that the season is not just about the hustle and bustle, but most importantly about the service that we give to others.  President Thomas S. Monson today spoke about the spirit of Christmas, and what it means to him.  The Spirit of Christmas makes our hearts glow. Why do our hearts glow so much? simply because we are serving others. It seems only natural then that we can keep the spirit of Christmas alive in our hearts by serving others.  So what do I learn from this experience I think the most important thing is to remember the spirit of service throughout the year and live a life that so that you will be full of that spirit throughout the year.  So now, this Christmas I want to focus serving others this Christmas season, particularly right now as college students about to have final exams.  I don't want to get too caught up that I forget the Christmas spirit.

I recruited by roommates, to share a few thoughts about the Christmas Devotional!!! :)
