WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT.

December 25, 2014


It is now 5:00 a.m. and a thought comes to my mind.  How many kids are up wak opening gifts that were left by Santa and Christmas wrap scattered about the living room or recreation room.  How many are pestering the elders to help assemble their treasures while mom or dad are sitting cross-eyed with only a few hours of sleep from a Christmas Eve party they had at their home.  Perhaps hung over or better yet still full of what they drank just a few hours ago.  Holding instructions in front of them and trying to focus to make the words clearer. The never ending phrase coming from the child of "hurry I need it put together now!".  Then again how many of Santa's treasures are now broken and set aside for mom or dad to fix it later on. 

For those who's children are still sleeping and will awake in a few more hours, and parents still sleeping because they were good, had little to drink and went to bed early in anticipation of the early rise of the children wanting to see what the bearded, red suited man and his reindeer brought for them on this long awaited day in December.

Lets not forget what this day is really about. It is about a child born in a manger who is now our Lord, Jesus Christ.  It is his birthday and we should never forget that even with all of the tensions in this world and in our own country.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
