Merry Christmas! Thank you for following along this year. We hope the music and testimonies shared throughout this Advent have brought you joy and reminded you of the Savior’s love. How grateful we are for Him who came down to save us — who lived, suffered, died, and rose again so that we might live again as well.

As husband and wife, we testify together of the divinity and reality of Jesus Christ. The story of shepherds watching their flocks, of Mary and Joseph traveling in faith, of wise men journeying for years, and of a single bright star guiding the humble to the King of Kings — it is all real. These are not fables or fairy tales. We know this story is true, and we cannot deny it.

Today, we selected three songs to celebrate Christmas.

These songs remind us that the tiny baby in the manger was never just a baby — He was already the Savior, already carrying the hope of the world in His small and perfect hands. One line from “A Savior Is Born” says, “This little baby is already holding the whole world in His tiny hands.” That line captures exactly how we feel.

As parents, this touches our hearts in a deeply personal way. We look at our own children and cannot imagine knowing they would one day carry the weight of every pain, sin, sorrow, and burden of humanity. And yet that was the path laid out for Jesus Christ. Mary and Joseph held Him, loved Him, protected Him, and raised Him — all while knowing He had come to rescue all of us.

“Hallelujah (Christmas)” beautifully tells the story of His birth, His ministry, and the sacrifice He willingly made for each one of us. It reminds us that the baby born in Bethlehem came to rescue us, and that even in His suffering, “every breath He drew was hallelujah.” What extraordinary love that is.

The song “Emmanuel” is a powerful anthem that celebrates the truth at the heart of Christmas: God is with us. He truly is the “Savior of our souls,” and we are invited — every one of us — to come to the manger, to behold Him, and to rejoice.

On this Christmas Day, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for Jesus Christ. Because of Him, we can be healed, forgiven, comforted, and made whole. Because of Him, our children — and we ourselves — are never alone in our pain. Because of Him, light always triumphs over darkness.

May we all feel the peace of Emmanuel today.

May we come to the manger with wonder.

May we follow Him with joy.

May He bless each and every one of us — today and always.
