I am sitting here
thinking all about Christmas, and
about how busy everything seems to get
around this time of year.
Why all the fuss and confusion?
What is the point?
I mean, it is nice to give gifts and share
joyful, pleasant memories of friends and family,
But why is it only emphasized for strict
times of the year?
It should not matter the time of year.
If one wants to spend time together
and give gifts, there should be no limits.
I understand Christmas gives a specific time
in which people can request time off work and
spend it with friends and family.
Sitting by the fire, eating cookies,
and drinking hot chocolate or coffee
It is a great time to slow down and think.
Christmas is so much more than gift giving,
but it is usually becomes overlooked due to the times we live in.
I am thankful to spend the holidays with my family.
It warms my heart as we gather around the Christmas tree,
and sing Christmas Carols.
We celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ while we talk about the love He has for us.
That is the focus of Christmas, not the hustle and bustle
a lot of people get wrapped up in
So enjoy Christmas this year as you spend time
with family and friends.
