The best Christmas gift

Blythe Evans

It was the day before Christmas vacation! Yay! After the spelling test, our class was going to have a holiday party with treats, fun activities, and moms coming in to help. Then two weeks off from school! This had to be one of my favorite days of the year.

But then our teacher asked us to take out our journals and write about what we were going to give for Christmas. What? What we were going to give? All my friends were talking about what they were going to get. But when I thought about it, I realized that Christmas is totally about giving because Christmas is about God and His love. And divine Love always gives.

While there were things I wanted to get for Christmas that year, I realized that God had already given me, and everyone, the best gift possible—His Son, Christ Jesus. Jesus came to teach us about God as divine Love and how God helps and blesses everyone. What a gift!
