As we approach another Christmas, we really need to reflect on what this very special holiday really is all about. Yes, Christmas is decorations, presents under the tree, gathering with friends and family, and exchanging gifts.
But Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of that little baby in a Bethlehem stable on a cold winter night over 2,000 years ago.
So, as we continue to rush and prepare for this Christmas let us remember that Jesus, the Christ child, is the real reason for the season, and we should keep him in our hearts every day, not just on Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Happy holidays and Happy New Year to all!
