As Christmas time rolls around, the world and its people gain this certain spirit about them: the Christmas spirit. More charity is abounding in everyone. Love and service are felt at a magnificent level. It's quite honestly unexplainable. Words aren't sufficient enough to describe the goodness of the Holiday season. I think maybe a reason for that is that people don't really know how to explain why they might act differently themselves. They may mention that it is simply a time to celebrate. Whether that be the end of the year. Or success. Or family. Anything. Some say that it is a time of giving. Some bring up Christ and that the holiday is to celebrate his birth. In my opinion, none of these are wrong. This video by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints wondrously puts the Holiday season into perspective. We give gifts to share our love for others. No gift will ever beat the first gift. The Gift from our Father in Heaven to each of us: The Gift of His son Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father knew what would happen to his only begotten son, and he still gave him to the world. Because He loves us, each, individually and incomprehendably and eternally and perfectly. No gift could be greater and no gift will ever be greater. Come to know of that gift and feel of that gift. No other feeling beats feeling Heavenly Father and the Savior Jesus Christ's love. That is the spirit of Christmas. God's pure love is the indescribable feeling. We can try to explain the way we feel when touched by His love and His spirit, but nothing completely satisfies it. HE is the Gift. Share the Gift.
