Christmas is filled with fun times with the friends you care the most about.
This is not Christmas.
Christmas is cozing up with your family by the fire.
This is not Christmas.
Christmas is finally being free of the bonds of schoolwork.
This is not Christmas.
Christmas is a home decorated in tinsel and green.
This is not Christmas.
Christmas is a mailbox full of Christmas cards.
This is not Christmas.
Christmas is the celebration of God humbling himself, taking on the flesh of sinful man, being born a baby. The greatest gift I could ask for on this or any holiday. The incarnation that made our salvation possible.
Indeed, this is Christmas.

This definitely is the time of year that reminders are needed, thanks.
Jesus IS the reason for the season!
FOCUS on OTHERS needs to be the highlight each day. JESUS IS THE REASON FOR EACH DAY…
LOVE THIS!!!!!!
i totally agree, people (myself included) get so caught up in the presents, the parties, the decorating and baking and forget what it is we are celebrating.
Heather: I’ve needed this reminder!
Rebecca Jo: Thank you!
Good point. :)
So true, we try and make it all kinds of things that it’s really not.
