Yesterday we finished our Christmas shopping. Andrew and I went together to buy our Christmas gift for each other. It was a surprise for both of us because we both don’t have any idea what type of gift we really wanted. So in order to get the type we want we decided to go together. And we wrapped our gift for each other. And my impatience strikes again as I wanted to open and use his gift for me and don’t want to wait for Christmas… Crazy me… but he said I have to wait for Christmas…It’s hard but I have to wait…hehehhe...
We also took some pictures when we set up our Christmas tree for our friends and family in the Philippines. And also we tried to take some pictures playing in the snow although it was just a brief moment because my hand gets numb and painful.
This morning our bishop gave a message about Christmas and he quotes some of the things that John Bytheway shared during the youth fireside. The three levels of Christmas.
The first level is the Christmas presents, the family gathering and the gift from Santa. It also includes food and new clothes. This is a wonderful time when we set time to be together with the family.
The second is the baby in the manger; it reminds us the first Christmas and the birth of our Savior. In celebrating this season we should not forget the baby in the manger. Despite the gift and the delicious food that we have during this day
The third level is the atonement and the resurrection of Christ. It is considered the true meaning and the purpose of Christmas. We can have the spirit of Christmas through service and love to others. Sometimes it doesn’t have any price and just a simple act but it is still a way for us to feel the true meaning of Christmas.
