There have been times when I have been confused by the Commercialism that
surrounds Christmas. It goes on for months. So much money. So much glitter. Christmas Rap music. Disney Christmas, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, advertisements showing everything we ‘need’…..But I have decided that it can be a good thing to help us remember the reason for the season. I think it is better to have all of the commercialism than to not have any attention surrounding Christmas. Along with the Commercialism this time of year we get together with loved ones more often, we give more to charities, we choose and give gifts to friends and family, and we are reminded of the true meaning of Christmas with all of the symbols that
we have incorporated into our culture. Remind yourself what the symbols of Christmas are. Look for them in all the commercialism around you.
All of these things remind us of Jesus Christ.

"Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of God, the Father. He was the Creator. He is our Savior, and He will be our Judge. Under the direction of our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ created the earth. Through His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and by giving His life on the
cross, that is, by performing the Atonement, Jesus Christ saves us from our
sins as we follow Him. Through His Resurrection, Jesus Christ saves us from
physical death. Because He overcame death, we will all be given the gift of
resurrection."
