Christmas is That Time of
Year ...

It's getting late in the
the year and Christmas time is creeping into
your mind. You are wondering what presents to
buy for whom and imagining the type decorations
and ornaments you will use this year in your
holiday decor.
But, as you will see, there
is much more to Christmas time than those material
things. Enjoy this Christmas story.
It is that time of year when
you walk outside, the air smells crisp and the
skies are a little grey.
Jack Frost has touched the
window panes with his magic fingers and the ice
scraper needs to come out of the glove box in order
to scrape off the front car window.

The Streets and
Children are in Celebration
Street lights take
on a new aura as their red and green
lights blink on and off.
You begin to drive
down the side streets on your way home to
see who has the best light show on their
lawn, and the children have sent their
wish lists off to Santa.

If you haven’t guessed
what time of year it is, it is Christmas
time.
Ready or not, the Christmas
holiday season is upon us so reach down deep, put
away a few of your worries and celebrate
life!
Christmas itself represents a
Holiday season that has taken on countless meanings
all over this diverse country of ours; from snow
covered hills to pink lights on palm trees,
nativity scenes to peppermint pigs.
Ebenezer Scrooge and The
Grinch, as well as Miracle on 34th Street and
It’s A Wonderful Life, all hold a special
place in our hearts. Some of us may travel across
the country during Christmas time, while others of
us may simply travel across the street.
No matter what our Christmas
traditions are, there is one very strong connection
that we all share.
Recent events in our
country’s history such as September 11 and
Hurricane Katrina remind us all of this connection
and continue to strengthen that bond every day.
This time of year we gather
together with friends and family. As we gather,
some of us celebrate the birth of Christ, some of
us may light candles on a Menorah, some of us may
simply unwrap gifts with glee without a second
thought. Yet there is no doubt, no question, that
we all gather to celebrate each other.
We gather to celebrate life,
and family, and those we love. We gather to enjoy
good food, good conversation and good company. We
reminisce about past holidays, remember those we
love who are no longer with us, and plan for the
future.
We share photos, we share
gifts, and we share laughs.
At Christmas time we look for
the innocent sparkle in our children’s eyes as
we help them to create their own memories, and tuck
them soundly into bed with a smile on their faces
as ‘visions of sugar plums dance in their
heads’.
No matter our age, our race,
or our nationality; No matter our heritage, our
upbringing, or our traditions; At Christmas time,
we live, we laugh, and we love.
Please remember to
read
the real Christmas story
to your children this year. It's listed in the Holy
Bible and on our website via the link above.

There is much to understand
about Christmas. We were able to provide you with
just a portion of joy as shown above, but there is
still plenty more to write about in subsequent
articles.
Don't limit yourself by
refusing to learn the details about the
real
meaning of Christmas.
The more you know, the easier it will be to focus
on what's important in your life.
