| Christmas is coming, how do mormons celebrate? |
People sometimes wonder how, or if, Mormons celebrate Christmas. Like most Christians, we celebrate the birth of Christ each year on December 25th. We do the normal things that most people do, at least in my family, such as presents from Santa, a Christmas tree, lights, etc. I have so many good memories of growing up and going to family parties, eating everyone's homemade foods and just having fun.
For me, Christmas is a time of Joy. Now that I'm a little older, I am able to look past the presents and lights, and see the present that Christ gave for us all, by being born here on earth and by dying for us on the cross. I can see the light that He gave the world through His words, His works and His sacrifice.
If you are curious about how Mormons feel about Christmas, I would invite you to watch the mormon Christmas devotional online. It is a free event, open to all. You can watch it live on Dec 7 at 6pm Mountain Time, or you can wait until after it is broadcast and watch it at your convenience.
