When Kyle and I first got married and went to pick out a Christmas Tree topper, we thought about getting an angel. Both of our families had angels so for us, that was normal. We went and looked at a few stores but didn't find anything we loved. We started looking at other toppers and came across this one:
We decided that we loved it and what it represents. It is a great reminder that Christmas, and the gifts under the tree, are not the best part of the season or holiday.
The best part is that we have a Savior who came to Earth for us. He gave us the greatest gifts of eternal life, true joy and peace on Earth.
Sometimes it is hard to focus on those.
Especially as we are surrounded by ads telling us to "Buy! Buy! Buy!" Or we are pressured to give the best gifts to everyone we've ever met!
So as we enter this holiday season, remember that it's not the 'stuff' that makes it wonderful.
It's the gratitude for a gift we have all been blessed to receive from someone who loves us whole-heartedly.
"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
