the reason for the season

It was Christmas time, and a little girl named Katelyn was 4 ½ years old and just starting to learn how to read. One day she was in the kitchen, trying to figure out the saying on a decorative plate her mom had put up. She sounded out “We”, her mom helped her with “believe”, and she got “in”. Then on the last word she said “sss” and “aah”, then her face lit up and she exclaimed “Savior!”

Her mom was surprised, then a little embarrassed, and with great love for her daughter she said “Wow, you’re right, that is what we believe in. It should say Savior, but really it says “Santa”. ‘We believe in Santa’.”

Katelyn replied “Maybe we could make a new plate that says ‘We believe in the Savior’.”

Her mom smiled and said, “that’s a good idea,” and was grateful for the reminder of the reason for the season.
