Merry Christmas:)


It's been a special season this year. It is Christmas Eve. My Mom is working, and the rest of my family is off doing festivities with their in-laws ( I was invited :)) I'm home alone tonight, and have had the chance to reflect on what Christmas means to me. 
I am amazed by the love my Heavenly Father and my Savior have for me.
Jesus Christ was born for me. He lived his life as an example for me to live by. He gave his life, so that I can return to my Father in Heaven.

Since no one else is home right now, I got to celebrate Christmas and my Savior in my favorite way. I have always loved playing the piano. I especially love playing the piano when no one else is home. There is something magical about playing in an empty house, knowing no one is listening. 
Playing in a room lit up only by the Christmas tree and piano lamp definitely overwhelmed me with the true Christmas spirit tonight, and I am so grateful for these tender moments we get to experience in this life. 

This year for Christmas I am most grateful for the time I have got to spend with my family, and loved ones, since next year I will not be able to. I know that Christ was born onto this earth under the humblest of circumstances. I hope I always remember my love for my savior, and take time to reflect on our Heavenly Father's Christmas gift throughout the whole year...not just the Christmas season. 
I love my Savior.
Merry Christmas!
