Tis the season to be Christlike!!!

December. What a wonderful time of the year it is. A time where the snow falls and covers the ground. We can then build snowman, have snowball fights, and hopefully have a few snow days every know and then. We get to enjoy a wonderful cup of hot chocolate while sitting next to the fireplace.
However with all of the great things that we get to do we get caught up with the temporal things. I know I do. Trying to get to the stores to find the right kind of gift for my family and friends. Putting up decoration, lighting up the house to, and in the end the real reason for the season is forgotten. What is it then? What is this holiday, full of snow, gift buying and giving and everything else all about? It's all about the birth of the Son of God, the Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. It's a time that we can remember that great gift who God has given to us. It's a time where we get to spend time with the family and build memories that will bless us for the rest of our lives. It's a time of giving to others, not just gifts, but of service. Where we can go about helping those that stand in need of comfort. During this Christmas season I hope that even with all the hustle and the bustle that we can remember the true meaning of Christmas and go about doing good to all mankind. This is the time where we can all be alittle more Christlike by going out and doing some kind of service for those that are in need. What kind of burden can you lift this Christmas season?
I know serving others this Christmas season will help us constantly remember the Savior Jesus Christ, and remember what He did while he was on the Earth, serving Others.  This is the real  reason for the season. God bless and have a very Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
