The lesson is on the Savior and the gifts He has given us. Be thinking about the teachings of Jesus and what has had meaning for you and impacted your life. Also what does Christmas mean to you?
We give at Christmas not only because of tradition but also because it makes us feel good. This giving represents something elemental in our concept of the Christ’s life and virtue. It is an expression of our esteem for his self-denial, and his benevolence. Our giving, petty as it may be in comparison with his, serves to keep alive in men a virtue which is essential in the whole Christian philosophy. Perhaps every Christmas we should review the gifts of the Savior to humanity.
