With December here and Christmas fast approaching our thoughts are often turned to the Savior and His birth.  We celebrate His birth and life through our worship on Sundays and through our interactions with friends and neighbors each day.  If you are anything like me sometimes you can find it hard to keep your focus on the things that matter most during the Christmas season.  I can often find myself so busy with things that don’t seem to matter and forget to take time to reflect on the things that matter most.  

One of the things I have found that has helped me over the years is a list of Christmas talks that my wife shared with me.  Over the years, different talks have been added in and the list has evolved but we try to read a Christmas message each day to help us remember to keep Christ at the center of our Christmas.  I hope you will enjoy these talks as much as we have.  

As a Stake Presidency we love and appreciate you and all you do to sustain us!!!  

Merry Christmas.
