joy to the world!

 We send you our warmest wishes this holiday season…

…But first there was just a little family, without toys or trees or tinsel. 

With a baby—

that’s how Christmas began. 

during this season we are ever mindful of this baby who was born long ago. 

we have been thinking of how his parents loved him, cared for him, snuggled him, and taught him.

 we rejoice in his birth and give thanks for all that his sacrifice offers us…that we too, have the opportunity to be together forever as a family.

what a precious gift!

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released the following 2010 Christmas message:

In celebrating the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ our thoughts

 turn to that sacred occasion when He was born “The Prince of

 Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). He promised: “He that followeth me shall 

not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 

8:12). Truly, Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer who

 was “wounded for our transgressions … and with his stripes

 we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).

Our prayer this Christmas season is that the light and 

testimony of the Savior's divine mission will come into our

 hearts and be reflected in our lives and in our homes.

May each of us be blessed, not only at this Christmas season,

 but also throughout the coming year. May our faith in Jesus 

Christ increase as we follow His example in all we do and say.

we know he lives and loves us!  

merry CHRISTmas!
