I loved that Christmas was on Sunday this year. It helped me think about the great gifts we've been given. The Savior's atonement was a priceless gift that allows us to repent and give us the opportunity to return and live with our Heavenly Father after this life. God gave us the gift of this earth and all the things on it. He gave us the gift of life, of food and clothing, of air to breathe and of families.
We have been given the gift of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and of the scriptures that tell how to live a happy life so we can return to him. The Lord gifts us with love, peace, joy, and happiness. He's given us his example of how to live to be happy.
Even if we never exchanged one gift under the tree, we have had such extraordinary gifts bestowed on us! How nice that at this Christmas time we can remember the great gifts given to us by our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
