The True Meaning of Christmas

On the first day of December I decided that I wanted to make this Christmas special.  I decided to read out of Luke 2 and Matthew 2 just a verse or two a day to really focus on the true meaning of Christmas - Christ.
(Our family room on Christmas Eve)
It was a really neat experience and I learned so much from this story that I thought I knew quite well beforehand. Christmas falling on a Sunday also added to the sacredness of this Christmas.  It allowed me lots of time to really focus on the reason for the season.  I also went to the Forgotten Carols with my roommate and her family.  It helped me to reflect on the story of Christ as well.  It was very neat musical that I intend to see again!
(Christmas Eve dinner)
It was a wonderful Christmas.  I know Christ was born into this world that He could show us how to live and then offer us a way to live forever!  I am so thankful for my Savior!  I really want to find ways to make each and every Christmas more centered on Christ.  It made a great difference and was absolutely wonderful!  Any traditions that help you remember the reason for the season?
