1. Christ is a separate being from Heavenly Father, and the Holy Ghost although they work together for the same purpose.
2. Christ has a body of flesh and bone.
3. Christ was the Jehovah of the Old Testament and the Messiah of the New.
4. He was born in a stable in Bethlehem.
5. He gave us the perfect example to follow.
6. He bled from every pore in the Garden of Gethsemane and died on the cross in Calvary.
7. He was resurrected after three days in the tomb.
8. After His resurrection Christ appeared to the Nephites in America.
9. He suffered for every sin we would commit. All we have to do is repent.
10.He suffered for every sorrow that we would ever experience and so He knows what we are going through and can provide strength and courage in difficult times.
11. Christ provided a way (the only way) that we can make it back to our Heavenly Father.
12. He will one day return to the earth and rule as "King of Kings and Lord of Lords".
12. All will stand before Christ to be judged. He will be the perfect judge because He has experienced everything we have.
I am so grateful for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and for the atonement. I can turn to Him when in despair, fear, or sorrow, and I know I will find peace. I am forever indebted to my Savior for the price he paid for me. Knowing a personal Savior helps me want to do better and try to become more like Him not only during the Christmas season but throughout the year.

Wow. That says it all and I agree.
We should all take time to reflect on what the Christmas season is all about. We, as a society, has become too materialistic and have lost sight of the real meaning of the season. Thanks for the reminder.
