I am normally one of those HUM Bug type of people when Christmas roles around – I do not like: Happy Holidays – Merry Xmas – and the focus going towards what am I going to buy for this person. I know what Christmas is about and it seems to get missed….. It is about the Birth of Christ…
Well I have Grand Kids now and I have had to tweak my attitude a little – I do enjoy buying them gifts and watching their faces when they open them. I do have to tell you – if you ask my Grand Kids what Christmas is about – they will give you the correct answer.
There is a song that Go Fish sings that gets me going each year: enjoy….
“Christmas with a Capital C” by Go Fish Guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkIj94yepfU
I hope you listened to the song – I can always make it through The Christmas Season after playing this a few times…
My Tweaking recently has taken me down a different path on Christmas – it made me think “what a better time to express my belief”. I have learned that when some tells me Happy Holidays – I can reply with a “Merry Christmas”. I have learned that this is all it takes, they will know where my faith is by the words I SPEAK. At work the other day some of the employees were decorating their windows and asked me about what I wanted to do with mine. I had a big smile and said that I would like to put a Manger scene on my window. You know most of the time it only takes a few words about the real meaning of Christmas to get people to think about the REASON FOR THE SEASON.
Just a quick note – this is the first year I actually put lights on my front porch….. It now shines to show that I really do not have to be a HUM Bug type of person this time of year…
So this Christmas Season enjoy just sharing a few words with the people you encounter. A simple “Merry Christmas” can go a long ways in sharing your faith.
