In the Christmas devotional a couple weeks ago President Uchtdorf tells a story about when he was 4 years old and with a candle he almost burned down his apartment. As a child he was devastated he thought he completely ruined Christmas. As he got older he realized that all the decorations and presents are not the real meaning of Christmas, that it actually means so much more.
The Christmas season should always be ways to remind of us Jesus Christ. With our decorations, nativity scenes or Christmas tree ornaments of our Savior. All of these remind us of the real meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Savior. Elder Uchtdorf says in the end of his Christmas talk that Christ is our redeemer at Christmas and always. Always remember that Christ loves us during this holiday season, no matter where you are or how you celebrate it.
