Do "Mormons" celebrate the traditions of Christmas?

Yes. Just like families all over America, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have their own Christmas family traditions. We buy each other presents. We receive gifts from Santa. We eat candy and other goodies. We shop. We attend school and musical performances, church Christmas parties, work Christmas parties, and our children make and participate in Christmas crafts and celebrations at school. Also like many families we try to keep our focus on the true meaning of Christmas, our Savior Jesus Christ. This can be difficult to do during the busy Christmas season.

This year our family is trying something new. I don't like to shop and this idea has simplified the gift buying and is allowing us more time to serve others and attend events. Christmas morning our children will receive four gifts:
Something you want
Something you need
Something to wear and
Something to read.

Don't feel too bad for them. They'll also receive gifts from grandparents and each other. Before December 1, we discussed as a family what we wanted to do this Christmas season. What makes the season special for each of us. We decided to make homemade candy with friends, to rake leaves for a neighbor, and to buy gifts for a family in need. From Sunday night and almost every night until Christmas, we  have a performance or party or event to attend. Already I'm feeling busy with the season, but at least I don't have to do much shopping. We also are trying to complete one spiritual goal this month, a gift to Jesus, and to give up something this month. My husband jokes that it's Lent for Mormons.
Our church has launched a world-wide initiative called "He is the Gift." I relate with the images of Christmas busyness at the beginning of the video, and I want to feel the love that my Heavenly Father has for me, a love so great that He sent His son to be born in a stable in humble circumstances and then to suffer and die for each of us. My favorite part of the video is at the end where a person falls to his knees in prayer. That is the way that I feel my Heavenly Father's love. This season as I embrace the gift of my Savior, I need to remember during those busy times to get on my knees. The spirit will work on my heart to slow me down and point me back to what is important. I encourage you to watch the video and in prayer embrace Heavenly Father's gift for you, His son, the Savior Jesus Christ.
