While a lot of people get caught up in shopping, lights, gifts and traditions how does all that equate to the birth of Christ? It doesn’t. It does however get our attention.
Christmas or the celebration of Christ was not even celebrated until 336 years after his birth as documented in an article at http://www.christianity.com
If you were a shepherd would you not have thought there was something special about the one night that a baby was born in a stable. A star that was so bright that it led them to the location of the child. The only gift they had to give the child was their presence.
How you celebrate this season is important. Give the greatest gift of all, yourself! Reach out to someone, share a story or a meal and remember a small baby that changed the world forever.
Merry Christmas to all.
