Born in a stable, cradled in a manger, He came forth from heaven to live on earth as a mortal man and to establish the kingdom of God.  During His earthly ministry, He taught men the higher law.  His glorious gospel reshaped the thinking of the world.  He blessed the sick.  He caused the lame to walk, the blind to see, the deaf to hear.  He even raised the dead to life.  To us He has said, 'Come, follow me.'

As we seek Christ, as we find Him, as we follow Him, we shall have the Christmas spirit, not for one fleeting day each year, but as a companion always.  We shall learn to forget ourselves.  We shall turn our thoughts to the greater benefit of others.

~Thomas S. Monson

Merry Christmas!

A Christmas Carol

For those who know me well, know I LOVE Christmas music.  Listening starts secretly sometime in October and publicly in November and just coasts on through December and then some.  I don't get tired of it and I'm not sure how that's possible, but I can listen to twenty different versions of I'll Be Home For Christmas and love every one.  I have my favorites and seeing as Christmas is a week away and it's prime time for carols I thought I would share a few of those favorites so you too can join in my love of the seasonal tunes.  Enjoy!

O and if you haven't heard the lyrics to Were You There? you can view them here, makes the song even better.
