Christmas ?

CHRISTMAS!!!

Each year, at Thanksgiving time in November we all start getting excited for a holiday we all call Christmas. We shop and spend major money on our loved ones. We eat till we cant eat anymore we party and celebrate.Churches have plays they have practiced for months, children talk about Santa and how they cant wait for him to come and bring all those present to place under the tree. Then December 25th comes along, we all get with our families some in which we have not seen in a long time and we share the many blessings and holiday treats with each other, we watch all the kids tare into the presents and all the laughter and excitement that fills the room.
As I have grown up in a strong Christian based Family we was always taught that Christmas was not all about Santa and receiving presents. It is more about the Celebration of a small little baby born on this day that would grow up to be our king and save us for all of our sins so we can live eternally in a place called Heaven. Its sounds great right ? I have believed this all my life and I have grown up to know this little baby we celebrate called Jesus. Knowing this man has made each Christmas a wonderful time of the year to celebrate his birthday, and love to all my family and friends.

December 2006 Christmas became sad to our family and we chose to spend it out of town. My Father was not here to celebrate the wonderful season with us. Since then Christmas has not been the same with my family. Until this year God sent us a little Christmas bundle Madilyn Bree Finley. Looking back at the day Baby Jesus was born I see now what the excitement and the reasoning why we call it CHRISTMAS!!
