“Dear Friends,” Friend, Dec. 2023, inside front cover.

Dear Friends,

Heavenly Father sent His Son to earth because He loves us. At Christmas, we celebrate Jesus Christ’s birth. We remember all that He has done for us. And we can share His light when we show love to others.

Go to page 2 to see how you can share the Savior’s light at Christmas. You can also find more Christmas stories, activities, and crafts throughout the magazine.

Merry Christmas!

The Friend
