 We celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ December 25. This year we felt the wonderful feeling of Peace and Happiness. At the Festival of The Nativitys in Arlington ,Washington.  A special room was dedicated to Christs Life. It was called " Come Unto Christ". It was a spiritual experience to view his life in pictures. This room was so beautiful. I am grateful for my Savior, his greatest gift of the Atonement for all of us.
