This weekend I went to the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas Concert, featuring the Muppets and Santino Fontana (well-known for his voice talent in Disney's Frozen). It was a fantastic performance and I was with fantastic people. During this concert, Elmo kept looking for the true meaning of Christmas. His first assumption was that Christmas was for celebrating lights because -- as he noticed -- there were lights everywhere! And indeed, if I was an anthropologist studying Christmas in America I would note that the people seem to have a strange fascination for lights during the month of December. All joking aside, Elmo's quest made me wonder whether my actions are a true representation of what Christmas means to me.
Christmas provides an opportunity for us to reflect on Jesus Christ. It allows us to examine our lives in the light of His humble birth and great sacrifice. His gift inspires us to give gifts of our own. I am grateful for my Savior. I am grateful for this Christmas season.I challenge you to consider what Christmas means to you.
What traditions or rituals do you have which have helped point you to the Savior during Christmas time? Please comment below!
