"The spirit of Christmas is something I hope all of us would have in our hearts and lives-not only at this particular season but also throughout the year.
"When we have the spirit of Christmas, we remember Him whose birth we commemorate at this season of the year.
"...I wonder if we might profit by asking ourselves, What gifts would the Lord have me give to Him or to others at this precious season of the year?
"May I suggest that our Heavenly Father would want each of us to render to Him and to His Son the gift of obedience. I also feel that He would ask us to give of ourselves and not be selfish or greedy or quarrelsome."
President Thomas S. Monson, "Rediscovering the Christmas Spirit," Ensign, Dec 2012, 4.
