Merry Christmas

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.

Hero at the Grocery Store, by Stephenie Meyer.

    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!

  4. Loveatfirstbite29 says:

  8. Stephanie says:

    Wow

    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?
