christmas.

As christmas is coming so quickly this month i have been busy helping with decorations, finding clothes for parties, buying gifts, stressing about money, and trying to stay busy at work...i found this quote online and it made me realize i need to chill out, and stop thinking about myself and what i need to get done and put others first...that is the true meaning of the season. so glad i found this.


"This Christmas, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again. Christmas is a celebration, and there is no celebration that compares with the realization of its true meaning—with the sudden stirring of the heart that has extended itself unselfishly in the things that matter most." - Howard W. Hunter
