Keeping it Wonderful

There'll be parties for hosting

Marshmallows for toasting

And caroling out in the snow

There'll be scary ghost stories

And tales of the glories of the

Christmases long, long ago

December is always a crazy busy month... or so they say.

 I think we can make it as crazy as we want  or we can pace ourselves, choose what we really really want to engage in and enjoy each moment without over doing it. 

What do you think? 

It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be much mistltoeing

And hearts will be glowing

When love ones are near

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Being a small business owner, I have made some concessions to the 

Christmas Craze as my livelihood depends on this time of year. 

I put up Christmas decor WAY before my birthday, 

which if you know me if almost unheard of! 

And I've been advertising specials and whatnot 

on my Facebook pages and offering all sorts of things.

 Its fun but it's also tiring.

I want to just be in the moment of the season and keep focused on the 

WHY of the season.... 

The REASON for the season...

 Christ's birth.

It's not about angels without remembering the angels who proclaimed His birth.

It's not about lights unless you recognize Jesus as the Light of the World. 

It's not about gifts unless you count the greatest gift of all, God's Son to save the world. 

And it's not about the tree unless you remember the most sacred tree of all, the cross upon which Christ was crucified.

As you prepare for the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year" I hope you remember the 

WHY of the Wonder. 

Wishing you a most Merry, Holy, Blessed Christmas.
