Keeping Christ in CHRISTmas!!!!
Hey it's Lauren! The biggest reason I am writing this is because my best friends keep telling me to do so!!! So here I am!! As we get closer to the these next two holidays I become even more excited!!! I especially look forward to Christmas!! I now have a job and am able to save up money to buy my brothers and sisters presents!!! I have waited all month to give them their presents!!! I have tried to stay in a manor that dosen't make me look like I want to get presents! You know "It is better to give than to receive." Anyway I was doing a pretty good job at it too until I was in a friends van and heard the song "Christmas with a Capital C." ( By: Go Fish) For those of you how have never heard this song, it is a song about how lots of people in the US say Happy Holidays instead of saying Merry Christmas. They go on to say that the reason is because CHRISTmas has Christ in it! That was when it hit me. Even when I say Merry Christmas I don't think about it having Christ in it! I just think about how it's a time to get off of school and spend time with my cousins. Now mind you I'm not saying that this is bad!!!!! I LOVE spending time with my cousins and family!! I'm just saying that without Jesus coming down to earth there wouldn't even be Christmas!
I had another time when I was about 12 when this thought also hit me. I was watching Love Comes Softly with my sister Emily. In the movie Marty and Missy were talking about what Marty did for Christmas when she was back home! Marty told Missy all this stuff and then at the end Missy said "And then you all sit next to the fire and your dad reads you the Christmas story."Marty said no and so fouth. All that time I was thinking "Well my daddy doesn't read the Christmas story to us either." That was when I told myself I was going to read it to myself but my daddy beat me to it. He has read the Christmas story to us the last two years!!!
For those of you who are parents and have kids, or you kids that just want to learn somthing you probably don't get out of a kids book, I suggest you go read the Christmas story to your children or yourself and see if that gives you a better perspective of what Christmas is all about!!!! You can find the Christmas story in Luke 2: 1-21!!!!!
Now as you all get up on Christmas morning remember that God loves you and that Christmas it to remind us of Jesus's birth!!!! Merry Christmas to you all!!!!!!!!
