It’s Christmas 2020, and tonight we gathered as a family to watch the First Presidency Christmas Devotional, a special broadcast from the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
President Russell M. Nelson, the prophet and President of the Church, spoke and shared a beautiful message centered on the Savior, Jesus Christ. His words were filled with hope, peace, and a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
May this season bring more of Christ into your heart and home, and may His light guide you in the coming year. Let us remember Him, not just at Christmas, but always.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released a beautiful new nativity video just in time for Christmas. Take a few moments to watch and enjoy. And may you have a very Merry Christmas!
There is something truly powerful about seeing a depiction of what the birth of the Savior might have looked like. It helps bring the scriptures to life and invites us to reflect more deeply on the sacredness of that night.
I love how this video makes me feel. As you watch, take note of the feelings that come to your hear. That warmth, peace, and reverence you feel is the Spirit of God bearing witness of the truth of His Son’s birth.
This short video stirs something deep inside each of us. It’s called Why We Need a Savior, and it’s part of the #LightTheWorld series. Even though I know the Savior paid for all my mistakes, the beginning of the video was powerful enough to make me feel the discouragement that would exist without Jesus Christ. But by the end, I felt grateful and filled with hope in my heart.
In just a couple of minutes, it reminded us of something so simple, yet so powerful: without Jesus Christ, there would be no joy, no forgiveness, and no second chances. Without the Savior, there would be no peace in the storm and no light in the darkness. Take a moment to reflect on that.
Remember the Savior
I don’t always take the time to stop and truly think about what the Savior means to me personally. Life gets busy. The holidays get noisy. But this video cuts through all of that. It brings us back to the core of what Christmas and life, really are all about. Our Savior Jesus Christ.
He is the reason I can move forward when I mess up. He is the reason I can find peace in uncertain times. And He is the reason I can feel love even when the world feels cold. Watching this video is like a quiet nudge from Heaven saying, “Remember Him. Trust Him. Follow Him.”
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, tired, or just a little lost lately, I encourage you to take a moment and watch it, then watch it again. It’s only a few minutes, but it carries a message that could change your whole day — maybe even your whole season.
I’m grateful for a Savior who knows me, loves me, and walks with me. And I’m grateful for reminders like this one that help me refocus on what really matters.
Let’s all #LightTheWorld in our own little ways — with kindness, with compassion, and most of all, with love.
