One of our favorite Christmas traditions is sitting down together as a family on the first Sunday of December to watch the First Presidency Christmas Devotional. We don’t have a television, so this is how we watch movies, etc. at our house – yippee for the internet and a projector. Annaliese and I made snowball cookies (my very favorite – and because of the fat content and the amount in which I consume them, they are only made once a year). My favorite part this year was the video of the Nativity. I was deeply touched by Mary when the shepherds came to see the Christ-child that first Christmas night. This amazing woman had just given birth, in a stable, no less, and within hours these sweet, humble people came to worship their God. And Mary shared Him in those sacred, precious hours.
It was such a nice way to not only get into the spirit of Christmas, but to come together at the end of our trip as a last little “hurrah”. And those cookies were so yummy! Don’t you just love Christmas?
