Christmas is coming. We all love Christmas! It is a season for celebrating with presents and decorated trees. but do we really know the true meaning of Christmas?
Journey Of Faith, a Christian (Not LDS Christian) group performed a "flash mob" in a mall. To me, this exhibited the spirit of Christmas:
The Piano Guys, an LDS classical band, performed "O Come, Emmanuel" as was depicted in this Mormon Messages which tells of the original Christmas story
Of more somber news:
We live in a world where catastrophes are common. Every time we turn on the news channel it seems that there is yet another event to mourn over. In fact, this past week The United States experienced another such catastrophe: the shooting of 20 children and 6 adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut. One of those 20 children was a young six-year old girl from Ogden, Utah: Emilie Parker. It has been said of beautiful Emilie that "you could see the Savior through her"

On non-related Christmas issues:
I, the blogger, am preparing to embark on a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. However, there are several things that I need to do beforehand---such as selling my housing contract! Therefore, I am posting my contract on this blog just in case any of you are interested or if any of you know anyone who is interested in buying it. It is a private bedroom located in walking distance to BYU. It has great amenities and an amazing social life! (and a totally awesome ward with a very active bishopric! PLUS!)
