Merry Christmas!

Wow, can't believe Christmas Eve is here again! Did 365 days really go by that quickly? Yes, Christmas is all about Jesus. Hello, Jesus' birth is the entire reason the season even exists. On top of that, this holiday is just magical. Some "devout Christians" would say Christmas has been ruined... Jesus has been commercialized... it's been turned into a cash cow. I say... it only makes sense to me that Jesus' birth has become the biggest holiday in the world. Sure, the gifts, shopping, etc. can get out of hand. Sure, the message and the reason can get lost in the "hustle and bustle," but I think it is our job to make sure the message is preserved and passed on through our families.

Christmas through the decades has become a magical time of year. I'm not overly thrilled that it has become more about gifts, decorations, Santa and pine trees. However, I enjoy the fact that it was a time set aside to celebrate the birth of Jesus and is now the biggest holiday there is.
