Reason for the Season

I ask myself, is Christ in Christmas?

I've come to believe, that for whatever reason, Christ is not in Christmas anymore and people have truly lost sight of why we share this special day. Instead, Christmas time has become this random day we give ourselves permission to be frivolous overspenders without remote concern for the consequences of such insanity.

It is not O.K. to take this blessed time of the year for granted. If we take the gifts out of the equation what would we have left?

What is left is the true meaning of the season. Love, thankfulness, family, friends, blessings, reflections from the year and an appreciation for everyday we have life! There is definately a reason for the season.

Point to ponder: If you had no money to even buy a gift, what would you do instead? Maybe, in a humble way, you would just give a hug!
