I've been watching some of the cheap, poorly made, sachrinne Christmas movies they rerun every year (while I'm addressing Christmas cards or decorating)---
Here are some titles:
A Star for Christmas
A Christmas Kiss
Merry Kissmas...
Where do these come from? Out here they play one after another all day on Saturday and Sunday during the months of December.
Well, yesterday I had "Defending Santa" playing as I was baking. Santa couldn't get back to the North Pole because he had been hit and had a concussion and was in a coma...blah, blah.
Well, when they got to certain parts of this syrupy sweet movie---when they felt that Santa might not be able to bring gifts to all the children---
I found myself tearing up! I couldn't believe it, but it was so touching and emotional.
It made me think of the promise of the Book of Mormon--that you would feel the spirit if you read it. Or of testimony meeting when someone goes to the stand and says something obviously outrageous, but "the spirit is strong."
So, there is MY example of the spirit. A cheaply made Xmas movie.
