A Slightly Different Christmas

My friends, this is a very personal posting by Drew (originally posted on Facebook).

Christmas Eve is slightly different when your four year old daughter is scared of Santa and  is sick, another beloved family member is suffering from a potentially life threatening illness, and we pause to think of another one who left this life earlier than expected.

But the house was filled with spirit. The spirit of love, of traditions, of the power of the Priesthood and Priesthood blessings, of gratitude knowing we are bound together as family for eternity because of the Temple, of Elijah and the desire to do family history work, of Christmas.  Of the Spirit of God.

Happy Christmas to all.

And to all, a good night.

ps - We told Sarah and Steele that Mickey emailed this card to them.  But when looking at it,  they both spoke of Baby Jesus rather than the Disney characters.  I was so proud.
