Who Is Your Reason For The Season?

Oh what a beautiful time of year, the Christmas Holiday. The snow outside on the ground and on the trees. There's nothing like a white Christmas. (As long as I don't have to drive in it.) Looking at the houses beautifully decorated with lights, lights and more lights can sometimes take your breath away.

Oh what delicious aromas coming from the kitchen. The sound of pots and pans clanging together as they are being pulled from the cabinets, ready for use on top of the stove, as well as in the oven.

With all the hustle and bustle, rushing here and there, I still love this time of the year.

Look at the beautiful Christmas trees, some green, some gold, some white with all the decorations of bows, ornaments, tinsel and lights.

Look at all the presents under the Christmas tree. My, oh my will someone be very surprised!

But wait a minute, with all the beautiful decorated trees, homes, and the delicious aromas coming from the kitchen, even with all the presents under the tree, that isn't the reason why I love this time of year so much.

It's because of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is the reason for the season, that's why I love this holiday season so much. We may not know the exact date of Jesus' birth, but we celebrate His birth Dec. 25th. The Christmas holiday brings more people together than any other time of the year. Black, white, yellow or green, why can't we show each other the same kind of respect and love throughout the year?

Jesus is the true meaning of Christmas!!!
