PRINCESS KATE Holiday Spirit

For Princess Kate, hosting the annual Together at Christmas carol service at London's Westminster Abbey was truly a gift.

"Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year," she enthused. "It is a time for celebration and joy, but it also gives us the opportunity to slow down and reflect on the deeper things that connect us all.

It is when we stop and take ourselves away from the pressures of daily life, that we find the space to live our lives with an open heart, with love, kindness and forgiveness-so much of what the Christmas spirit is all about."
