Merry Christmas! I hope that you realize the importance of the season is not the number of presents under the tree but the presence of the Spirit in your home.

Here's the latest article from the LDS Families site at BellaOnline.com.

"Dear Soldier" - A Book Review
This touching book is a compilation of letters sent to servicemen--many of whom don't even have Christmas trees this year. These letters not only boost their spirits but they will lift yours as well. Learn how to join Operation Angel, Project Portrait or Project Rudolph and send your own support.

Also refeatured is a FHE lesson on the wisemen by Terrie Lynn Bittner. It features a fun game and several links. (There was a problem with one of the links but that has been corrected. If you could not access Brother John A. Tvedtnes' article on the wisemen try it again. It's working now and it's worth the read.)
