I'm at the tail end of the first family Christmas vacation we've taken in three years, and it's been great.

One last Christmas video. Despite some disappointing turns of events that prevented us from seeing some loved ones, this has been the most joyous Christmas season for me in at least three years.

There are certain traditions and activities that embody the spirit of Christmas. Live performances of Handel’s Messiah are certainly in this category.

A favorite Christmas song of mine that has been covered countless times is David Foster's Grown-Up Christmas List.

It's old, cheesy, and obscure. Just the kind of Christmas video I like.

I'm ready for the holiday break. We're planning on visiting extended family this year and we'll hopefully see a few people we haven't seen since before the COVID-19 pandemic (2019).

Another favorite Christmas video that I have watched every year since I first saw it is a music video of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square singing Infant Holy, Infant Lowly.

The past couple years I have been mailing Christmas cards to family and loved ones and I plan to keep doing so in the future.

Eight years ago I saw a Christmas ad that I enthusiastically shared that year and every year since. It has become one of my favorite Christmas videos and seems to only get more relevant with time. In truth it is more of a mini-documentary than an ad.
