Merry Christmas

There's no movie review here, just a Christmas message:

Christmas is a season of hope.  We hope it snows; we hope the roads stay dry.  We hope the lines at the mall aren’t too long, that we can find a parking space, that what we want is on sale.  We hope the carolers and choirs sing in tune.  We hope the dinner turns out all right.  We hope we like the gifts we receive and that the gifts we give are appreciated.  We hope people (and ourselves) will be a little kinder, a little more generous, a little merrier.  We hope Charlie Brown’s friends enjoy his scraggly tree and that the misfit toys find homes.  We hope Scrooge will mend his ways and the Grinch’s heart will grow.  We hope for many things.  But at this Christmas season, may we remember that the truest hope is in Christ, “which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God” (Ether 12:4).

Merry Christmas!
