It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I don't know about most people but I LOVE CHRISTmas. It is my favorite holiday. Wherever you go around Christmas it seems and feels like everyone is happy and it doesn't matter what your religious, spiritual, political, or daily life view is you are happy and all celebrating. But in the midst of all it all the gift giving, parties, traveling, I think people can sometimes forget what Christmas is all about. Even though we know December is not actually the month Jesus was born in it is when we celebrate it, do you celebrate your birthday, loved ones, than why not celebrate the birthday of the man who died so that you might be saved. That is one of the main reasons I love Christmas to think that God sent his son as flesh, he sent him as a baby in the womb of a virgin, the angel said to Mary God has found favor with thee, could you imagine the honor Mary would have felt that out of every one on earth God had found favor and entrusted her with his son. OOOOPS I got of track. God had a Mother and a Father raise him instill values and a Love for God. I could go on and on and on but people have tried to take the CHRIST out of CHRISTMAS, I frankly do not understand it. I love decorating for Christmas the lights, the trees, the smells, LOVE IT.
