I'm so glad we attempted a family activity of watching the Christmas Devotional... but it was less than calm... more like chaotic. This is what happens with 4 little ones at the end of a Sunday. But... I still felt JOY in the midst of it all. I hope in years to come the tots will look back and have some fond memory of this tradition. We listened to the Christmas Carols. The kids recognized the 1st Presidency... so overall, it was good.
Presently I'm watching the Devotional to really capture the essence of the messages. This is needful ... and good.
