SPT: Comfort The Reason for the Season

This week Lelly's challenge is comfort. There are so many things this season that I find comfort in. My family, extended family, friends etc. But the biggest comfort is the reason for the season and the gift of comfort that comes with the Saviors birth and life.
I went to the live nativity at the Washington DC Temple with my family the other night. The comfort in watching my kids eyes light up as they told the story of Jesus' birth. How wonderful they were looking at pictures of his life in the visitors center. Each year they do a festival of lights with a live nativity. We enjoy going as a family.
Those are my kids watching intently to the nativity. They were in such awe.
What brings you comfort during the Holiday Season?

I find great comfort in staying away from crowded cramped events. Especially those with only one exit!
