Merry Christmas
By Twilight_News | December 24, 2008
On behalf of the entire staff of the Twilight Lexicon, we wish all our readers Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Two years ago before everyone knew about Twilight, Stephenie wrote an article for Ensign Magazine about the spirit of Christmas. We thought it might be a great time to share it with readers who have never heard of it, and to share it again with those who have.

Merry Christmas!!
December 24th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Merry Christmas! And that is a very good story. =]
December 24th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Wow, hat story was so good. It reminded me of Terms of Enderment, when the mom cant afford to uy all her groceries, but this one had a better ending. That is really what Christmas is about, Aw I’m teary eyed now!
December 24th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Wow! I remember reading this story two years ago! I had no idea that she had written it. Awesome!!
December 24th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Merry Christmas!! The story was very good!!
December 24th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
This is why stephenie is one of my heroes. That was so touching, I had to choke back tears. I’m glad to have read that.
December 24th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
what a lovely story. Made me sad. Merry Christmas everyone!
December 24th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Wow
December 24th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
hmmm…
lessons learned in the moment, but never used thereafter, never became a lesson afterall. They just became a slap in the face. A “look what you have done to help” remark.
But when you walk through life and remember the sting of the slap and decide to do something about it by helping people every chance you get, then it becomes a lesson learned and lived.
I wonder, to which degree has SM learned? Does she still just mearly walk around still feeling the sting, or has she learned and lived her lesson?
December 24th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Haha, I knew about Twilight two years ago… but I’ve never read that. It was an excellent story. And Merry Christmas to every one at the Lexicon! You guys are great!
December 24th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
