Christmas in Washington D.C.

Christmas in San Diego

We wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! As part of this year's celebration we would like to share with you three Christmas stories. Each represents values reflecting the true meaning of our purpose on Earth.

• A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens
  HTML - EPUB - Kindle
• The Mansion, by Henry van Dyke

• The Story of the Other Wise Man, by Henry van Dyke
  HTML - EPUB - Kindle

Each year our family gathers together on Christmas Eve to read a condensed version of "The Story of the Other Wise Man." Like many other families, we also read from "The New Testament," Luke 2 while family members portray the various parts, including the angels rejoicing in song. We then read from "The Book of Mormon," Heleman 14 which is an account of the signs of the birth of Christ given to the ancient inhabitants on the American continent. We share with you our firm conviction that Jesus Christ lives and came as the scriptures said He came as a babe in the manger born of Mary, the Savior of the world, the son of God. May you feel His love this holiday season.

Sincerely,

From our family to yours.
