To answer my question from the previous post, "What does any of this have to do with the birth of Christ?", I'll quote Christina Rossetti (19th century poet).
"Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love Divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and Angels gave the sign."
Without Jesus, we are incapable of truly loving anything. But with Jesus, we can love our families and all the other wonderful things about this time of year.
Jesus IS the reason for the season! Merry Christmas!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!
I love that old Christmas song. Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! I've always loved Christmas. All the sounds, smells, decorations, traditions. Everything! I love trying to find "the perfect gift" for my loved ones, I love going caroling with our church, I love all the delicious treats everyone makes this time of year, I love spending time with family and I even love the cold weather (for a little while anyways:-). I LOVE Christmas!
But what does any of this have to do with the birth of Christ?
Jesus came to this earth as a baby, lived a sinless life, died and was resurrected so we can be reconciled with our Heavenly Father.
If you have never accepted God's perfect gift, Jesus Christ, now is the perfect time! New life in Christ is the best gift you can ever receive, no matter what time of the year!
