My, what a year this year has been! Although I find myself saying that statement during every Christmas season, each year I'm still filled with the same amount of surprise, excitement, wonder, and gratitude. I love the fact that Christmas falls at the end because it's honestly the perfect time to be reminded how far we have come in the year and in life. The celebration of our Savior's birth is not only a celebration of hope and life but it is the exact reason why we also have hope and life. Without Him, none of this would all be possible. I'm so thankful that God sent His son down in the purest and most humble form just for us! With that said, I pray you all have the best of Christmases, the happiest of times this year. Regardless of where you are, who you are with or how you celebrate, know that you are loved!
