At this time of year, the Christian world focuses on the birth of Jesus, ....
And certainly, we are aware of the great role that the Prophet of the Restoration, Joseph Smith, fulfilled in bringing to the world a greater understanding and knowledge of the Savior. Since the Prophet’s birth is commemorated Dec. 23, it often receives little attention. But what a happy circumstance of timing: the greatest advocate of the Savior known to this dispensation was born at Sharon, Vt., within 48 hours of that day in 1805 that Christendom observed the birth of Jesus Christ...
As we celebrate the birth of the Savior, we also remember the birth of the Prophet. It is because of him, and his singular and remarkable experience, that we know the Savior as we do. There is no event to compare with the First Vision...
“I look to him {Joseph Smith}. I love him {Joseph Smith}. I seek to follow him {Joseph Smith}. I read his words, and they become the standards to be observed in guiding this great Church as it moves forward in fulfilling its eternal destiny.”
Merry Smithmas!

What a 'happy circumstance' indeed!
