Christmastime is here! I am so excited because this is my favorite season of the year. Everything is bright and cheery and there are lots of lights, and snowmen. Plus, hot chocolate, reindeer and yummy goodies! Scarves and boots are everywhere, and under alot of trees bright colored packages are starting to appear.
Our focus seems to be on getting the perfect gift for that loved one, hanging the lights just right on the balcony or baking cookies for the family. But do we ever really stop to remember The Reason For The Season?
I sometimes forget to think about it when I get so caught up in getting ready for Christmas, being busy at work and trying to please everyone. I focus too much on superficial things that won't last. But Jesus is the real reason we celebrate. God in human flesh. Jesus came to earth as a baby. He was born to save the world, to redeem us from our sins, and show people the way to God.
Christmas is not about getting, but about giving; what God gave to us and what we now have to share with others. That is real love and the real reason for the season.
I'm so thankful that Jesus Christ was born. And that He died on the cross and rose from the grave for me, and for anyone who believes.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Great post. I shared a similar message with the readers on my blog. It's easy to forget what Christmas is really about. It's always good to slow down and remember our Savior.
