"Always at this beautiful season, we repledge ourselves to his work - and invite all people everywhere to join us in our prayers of joy and love and gratitude for the life and teachings of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of God."
                                        --Spencer W. Kimball

"We celebrate then, this Christmas day, not only the birth of a Babe in Bethlehem, but the advent in mortal tabernacle of he very Son of God himself, who took upon himself mortality, became subject unto death, that he might conquer it and become the first fruits of the resurrection.  We celebrate the greatest single event in all history.  Recognizing him for what he is, the Creator and Redeemer of the world, we declare the joyous message in the midst of chaos and of confusion, that victory is his, that truth will triumph, that Christmas is the celebration of an event, the full import of which will only be realized when he comes again to rule and reign, when peace shall be permanently established in the earth, and when he shall take his place as King of Kings."
                                        --Hugh B. Brown

"Christmas is a blessed season, and if we come to it seeking the warm, confirming Spirit which testifies of Jesus Christ and of him crucified that we might enjoy eternal life, then we will find light and life in the experiences of this holy day."
                                        --Barbara B. Smith

"If we all would determine this day to accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Savior of the world, and to love on another as he has loves us, we would all enjoy peace on earth and goodwill toward all men.  This is the true meaning and spirit of Christmas."
                                        --N. Eldon Tanner

"Christmas means giving.  The Father gave his Son, and the Son gave his life.  Without giving there is no true Christmas, and without sacrifice there is no true worship... Giving of self; giving of substance; giving of heart and mind and strength in assisting those in need and in spreading the cause of His eternal truth - these are of the very essence of the true spirit of Christmas."
                                        --Gordon B. Hinckley
 

"Christmas can be a shining celebration if we seek the true meaning of the day...Even if we are bereft of our favorite things, great or small, contemplation clarifies the secret of a shining season.  It depends upon how high our vision of Christ himself.  How steadfastly we pursue a knowledge of Christ and a personal conversion to his ways will determine how shining our season - and our life - will be."
