I'm so excited for Christmas!

Every year I get so excited for Christmas.  It isn't for the gifts that I will receive, but the spirit of giving. I love to give! I love to see faces lit up and smiles on faces. When I was 12 years old we had the chance to do sub for Santa.(which I totally recommend doing)  I was so excited to make fleece blankets for all the kids. Not knowing what a simple blanket would do. After going house to house dropping off packages full of toys and meals. We then made it to the last house on our list. The gifts were for a little girl who lived with her grandma. The first thing she picked up was that little fleece blanket, rolled up and tied with a ribbon. With tears rolling down her face. She said, "my granddaughter will love this most." She was starting to go blind and could barely see anymore. She loved to sit and listen to the TV bundled up in a nice warm blanket. The blanket she had been using, was full of holes and not much was left of the blanket. I have never felt so good in my life. It was so much better then getting "stuff" for Christmas.

God has given us the greatest gift, our Savior. Let this holiday season be a reminder to love everyone, and do simple acts of kindness. Those simple acts could be just what that person needed!
