The Spirit of Christmas

It's the most wonderful time of the year. That’s what we hear in song, that’s what people tell us, and that’s what many of us feel during the holiday season.

Certainly it’s the busiest time of the year for many of us. We take extra care in cleaning and decorating our homes, preparing for company; we take extra time going to the grocery store and preparing our menu for the holiday celebration; and we take extra time to make sure we have all the presents bought and wrapped so we can share them with our loved ones during the Christmas celebration. And don’t forget all the holiday events we have to book into our limited schedule - family gatherings, Christmas parties, children’s events, visits to Santa, visiting aunts and uncles we see so seldom.

Simply put, many people lose sight of the true spirit of Christmas because they are busy trying to keep up with the many obligations they feel they have. It’s important not to get so caught up in the pressures of the season that we forget about the reason we are celebrating to begin with: The birth of a child more than 2,000 years ago in a stable in Bethlehem.

That’s not to say that all the other events are unimportant, it’s more important to focus on why we celebrate, and not how.

We hope that everyone enjoys their Christmas celebrations. Merry Christmas to all!
