I have come to realize what it means to celebrate Christmas

A little note Colby sent his dad on Christmas. 

Hello Father!


This year has been a different Christmas season for me but in the best way. I have come to realize what it means to celebrate Christmas. We truly are here to celebrate the birth and life of The King of Kings. I have spent these last weeks focusing on giving everything I can instead of expecting to receive and it has made me love Christmas! The Savior is a perfect example of being selfless. As we strive to be Christlike, we too need to be selfless in all we do. That includes giving. The receiving that comes is the blessings of obtaining this Christlike attribute of selflessness. I have grown to love missionary work. The mission has taught me to love my fellow man and be selfless in my dealings with them. I am grateful to spend this Christmas in the service of my Father in Heaven and His Son. I hope too that your Christmas season is full of as much joy as mine. I can't wait to see you when I skype!
I thank you for everything you have done for me. You are the greatest father and best example to me. I love you!
Love
Elder McLain
