Now that I am older I really find myself struggling to write a Christmas list. It is the season of giving, but really do we remember why we give? And do we remember that it IS NOT about getting?
Meaning of Christmas simply quoted in Charlie Browns Christmas (it really makes me happy that a cartoon brought in the REAL meaning of Christmas meaning CHRIST meaning they brought in religion. ...I could rant about how Christ is being taken out and people use the holiday as gifts .. including those who don't believe in Christ...working retail you see things you would second guess about)
BACK TO WHAT I WAS SAYING...
Now I use the video because every time I read the verses I hear him saying it.
We have Christmas because Christ was born this day. He was born to be an example and to die for us so that we might live again.
Every Christmas Eve we watch The Muppet Christmas Carol. I could post just about every song on here but I will just post 2 of them that really get to me every year and I do try to keep the message with me year round.
You will understand what Christmas is all about. In all the places you find love it feels like Christmas. It is SO SO SO SO much more then getting gifts. Christ didn't just come to the Earth and do good things once a year. We have this day because He was born but we should live out lives as he did. Giving every day of our lives and sharing the love and joy we have with others.
We could all learn a thing or two from Tiny Tim. Such big strong words from a little guy. He knows the meaning. It should be every day not just this one day a year.
I could keep posting more videos from the movie but I wont make you all sit here for hours reading and watching videos .. though its the best movie ever pretty much and if you have never seen it you should.
I hope we all can remember the true meaning of Christmas and take it with us every year.
Now for the fun part for me just a few pictures from the night/day where I can show off my Nephew (It was Orry's First Christmas!!) and SOME of the wonderful things I received today from my family that I am so grateful for. ....I really tried not to post a lot but somehow I still posted half of the pictures I took. Sorry I got carried away!
As I post this the day is almost over but the spirit of Christmas should be something year round not just one day. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and will have a happy New Year and we can remember these things year round this up coming year.
