Michelle Quist: During this season of belief, believe women

We see this phrase everywhere in December – on T-shirts and posters and advertising campaigns. It means different things to different people. Children see Just Believe and start asking for remote-powered cars and iPhones. Parents view the phrase as an unwelcome reminder that they represent an overly-boisterous, imaginary and magical fat man in a red suit. Some even see the two words as a testimony of the grace and love of the Savior of the world – the real meaning behind Christmas.
