At the end of one of my most favorite books, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, we read of the main character, Ebeneezer Scrooge, that, ". . . it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that truly be said of us, and all of us!" With the passing of Christmastime 2008, I would like to share an idea for keeping Christmas throughout the year. It comes from this article by Elder Jeffery R. Holland, published in the Ensign over 30 years ago.
We hope you enjoy this thought-provoking article, and that it helps you keep Christmas, each year in December, and all through the year.
I loved the speech, thank you. Our family read it for family home evening! It is easy to get caught up in the gifts and forget why they are given, like he says, sometimes the symbols can cover what is being symbolized. Merry Christmas!
