I absolutely love the Christmas season. I am one of those people who listens to Christmas music all year long. I love everything about this time of year. The music, laughter, lights, family, love, snow, service, and the reminder of the birth of our Savior.
Everyone is happier around this time. I always try to serve year round, but this time of year I can find so much service to do. I am so grateful to have friends who love to serve like I do. It can be as simple as making cookies and dropping them off at families homes, like my friends and I did this weekend. It was something so simple. The Lord works in small and simple ways. Sometimes the smallest actions mean the most.
This year, our family invested in the "elf on the shelf". Every night we move her to different places in our house causing mischief wherever she goes. I absolutely love seeing the excitement in my little sister's face as she tries to find her and the smile on her face when she finds what she did over the night.
I reflect on my life this time of year as I reflect on the Savior's birth and life. This is where I truly find the Christmas spirit. When I think about my Savior and all He did for me, I am reminded how much He truly loves me. I am so grateful for the love He gives me and the life He lived that I can strive to be like Him. He is why I serve. He is why I started this blog-to share my gratitude and blessings I receive from Him. He is why I love Christmas so much. He is the reason for the season.
