Favorite Quotes:
"Rings and other jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only true gift is a portion of thyself." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
"He who gives money gives much, he who give times gives more, but he who gives of himself gives all. Let this be a description of our Christmas gifts." --Pres. Thomas S. Monson, Ensign, Dec. 2003, 5.
"Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting." --Mother Theresa
Favorite Book:
Christmas Jars by Jason F. Wright-- It saved me from a not-so-great reading month, it was great, I cried, you shoudld read it, enough said.
Favorite Music:
On my ipod I put all the church hymns and primary song that were Christmas songs into a group, and this has been my favorite thing to listen to-- "Stars Were Gleaming" children's songbook pg. 37, and "The First Noel" Hymn #213 are a couple favorites.
Favorite Article:
For whatever reason, our church magazines didn't come this month :( I plan on buying copies, but there is a snow storm today so it will have to wait. I did find an article through one of my yahoo!groups. I've posted the complete text at the bottom of my blog. It's called "The True Spirit of Christmas"
Favorite Activity:
Decorating the tree as a family, baking cookies and making a gingerbread house as family, and snow sledding at the park. (And finally being finished Christmas shopping!!)
What are some of your favorites this Christmas season?
