Christmas is right around the corner! It's already September bloggers so in just three short months Santa Claus will be on his way with eight reindeer pulling his sleigh!
Out of all the holidays Christmas has always been my favorite, it means so much to me for so many different reasons but let me just try to explain a few.
Reason 1: Christmas is the time of year that we celebrate Christ's birth, now the fact that the Savior of the world came here in the first place is incredibly unimaginable but it gets better! Jesus didn't just come here as a king and a ruler like so many expected him too, he came as a baby, a helpless infant born to an ordinary young couple who were probably (like most first parents) absolutely terrified! I could continue on this subject for hours but I'll keep going.
Reason 2: The shepards, out of everyone in the Christmas story the shepards have always been my favorites. I mean think about it, your hanging out at work, enjoying some down time, hanging out with your friends and swapping stories when all the sudden the sky lights up with angels telling you not to be afraid! What's your reaction going to be? Because for my part just reading about the angels sends chills down my spine! But they don't stay cowered back in their fear, they hear what the angels have to say, they listen to the good news and immediatly they go to worship the Savior of the Universe! Immediatly! Think about that word for the moemnt, when was the last time that God called you to do something and you responded with that kind of urgency? For me, I usually like to spend some time arguing first. =)
Reason 3: Family. I adore my family, if you've been reading this blog you've probably figured that out by now but it's true, they are the most important people in my life. Especially as we started to get older and people started to move away I started to cherish our time together more and more. Christmas is one of those rare times that we get to see each other, to spend time together and to just love each other. Wether it's teasing each other, playing pranks, or catching up on each other's lives I always leave with a happy feeling in my heart knowing how much I'm loved and how much I love my family.
And real quick I'll list a couple of traditons I love!
Tradition 1: Baking with Mom.
Tradition 2: Singing Christmas carols with my Grandma when I was just a littl girl.
Traditon 3: Setting up the Christmas village.
Well bloggers that's my summary for Christmas for now but I want to know, what are some of your favorite Christmas traditons?
