The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released the following 2011 Christmas message:
There is no better time than this very Christmas season for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus Christ. It is the time to love the Lord our God with all our heart and our neighbors as ourselves. This joyful season will bring to each of us a measure of happiness that corresponds to the degree in which we have turned our minds, feelings and actions to the Spirit of Christmas.
May this Christmas season be a time of prayers for peace, for the preservation of free principles, and for the protection of those who are far from us. Let it be a time of forgetting self and finding time for others. Let it be a time for discarding the meaningless and for stressing true values. Let it be a time of peace because we have found peace in His teachings.
We testify of the living reality of our Lord and Savior, even Jesus Christ. He is indeed the way, truth, and the life (John 14:6).Tonight at 5:00 p.m. PST, the First Presidency will give their annual Christmas Devotional from the Conference Center in Salt Lake City. You can see the devotional on KBYU-TV or online or listen to it on BYU Radio.
And here is a video of President Thomas S. Monson's address at last year's Christmas Devotional.
