Motivation Monday: This is a Glorious Time of the Year

Merry Christmas Eve, Eve. Today's Motivation Monday is inspired by these simple words from Thomas S. Monson.

"This is a glorious time of the time, simple in origin, deep in meaning, beautiful in tradition and custom, rich in memories, and charitable in spirit. It has an attraction to which our hearts are readily drawn. This joyful season brings to each of us a measure of happiness that corresponds to the degree in which we have turned our mind, feelings, and action to the spirit of Christmas."

Part of what I love about the Christmas season in the underlying feelings associated with everything. I don't feel that those things are something I can easily describe or pinpoint. Every small aspect plays a part: family, memories, traditions, selflessness, giving, holiday lights, beautiful snow, and of course remember Christ. 

I don't think anything highlights the great things about the season more than President Monson's quote. I love the words simple, deep, beautiful, rich, and charitable.
