"Perhaps one of the greatest things about this wonderful Christmas season we
celebrate is that it increases our sensitivity to things spiritual, to things of God.
It causes us to contemplate our relationship with our Father and the degree of devotion we have for God.
It prompts us to be more tolerant and giving, more conscious of others, more generous
and genuine, more filled with hope and charity and love--All Christlike attributes.
No wonder the spirit of Christmas is such that is touches the hearts of people
the world over. Because for at least a time, increased attention and devotion is
turned toward our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ....."
Ezra Taft Benson
