Christmas Celebration

Well hello again =]
Excuse my absence of writing these past few months. Business may be an excuse, but sad to say mine was just laziness. So forgive me for not blogging. I have quite a bit to catch up on!

Christmas always gets me thinking. Thinking about family and friends, gifts that we give and receive, childhood memories, and most of all love. Many people don't realize the true reason for Chritmas, and why it's a 'Merry' day.
Yes Christmas is a time of giving gifts, decorating everything, and spending these special few weeks with family. But it over all a time of celebration! Celebration that a prefect God would send his one and only son, to save us from our selfishness!
I as well as most people love to get into the 'the Christmas spirit'. But is that 'Christmas spirit' about the joy that has come because of a little baby, or is that 'Christmas spirit' there because were excited to get and receive presents, or eat food, or spend time with family. Don't get me wrong, all this is, very good! But is this all Christmas is about?
If this was all Christmas was about then this could be any other day. We celebrate Christmas because it is the day a Savior has come to rescue us! So yea, get into the 'Christmas spirit', but just keep in mind what Christmas is and why we celebrate it!

I hope you all had a very blessed Christmas and New Years!
Love, Hannah
