We are sending this Holiday Greeting via email for those who are long, long distances away. Hopefully you will receive it in the spirit of in love which it is sent.
David's parents are working on a posterity that is as numerous as the sands of the sea. So this will go onto a family website for the extended family also.
We wonder why we feel busy when we remember the last 2 Christmases in the MTC...but alas we are acclimated and in the thick of things here at home. We have so many wonderful memories of our friendships and experiences. We love our Savior and love the opportunities we have to serve in the Restored Gospel. We wish you a wonderful holiday of remembering Him and of serving...wherever you are in the world.
Love David and Deena and Chantel

MERRY CHRISTMAS & A VERY HAPPY 2011
From the David and Deena Christensen Family
“Let Christmas be a time that lights the eyes of children and puts laughter on their lips. Let it be a time of lifting the lives of those who live in loneliness. Let it be a time for calling our families together ---for feeling a closeness to those who are near to us and a closeness also to those who are absent. Let it be a time of prayer for peace ---for the preservation of free principles and for the protection of those who are far from us. Let is 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. Most of all, let it be a time to remember the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ---that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the sheppard’s, and the worship of the wisemen. May the spirit of LOVE which is present at Christmas time fill our homes and our lives and linger there long after the tree is down and put away for another year.”
President Thomas S. Monson
