"I needed to hear your song and it needed to find me last night! My husband has been without work for 7 months now and I think that as a mother of 3 small boys… there is no harder time of year to find yourself without financially. I have had great heart ache over struggling with the reality that Christmas as we have known it in years past would not be a part of our lives this year. So what does that leave then??
It leaves me the chance to open my heart to the Savior and the true meaning of the holiday and humbly teach myself and my children what Christmas is supposed to really mean.
I have decided on wonderful creative ways to spend time together this month that are free or low cost and will create lasting memories and new traditions. What a GIFT!!!
The greatest gift to my children and the Savior this year will not be found in the toy store. It will be the time we spend building our relationships and testimonies as a family.
With this in mind I have found great hope, joy and unexpected anticipation for the Christmas Season and think this will be our best Christmas yet!"

UNEXPECTED ANTICIPATION (another letter)
In this difficult financial climate, I've received a lot of letters like this one. Although they have been out of work, Cindy, from Washington State, finds a reason to believe that this will be her family's best Christmas ever.
