Luke 2:9-14
And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. (10) And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people. (11) For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. (12) And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger. (13) And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, (14) “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

As the Christmas Season is coming closer, many people have either forgotten or remembered Christ's birth. Many have always thought of Christmas as just a time to get presents and decorate their homes with tacky blow up Santas and snowmen, while others remember Christmas as a time of giving, and celebrating Christ's birth. Christmas shouldn't be about receiving presents, it's Jesus's birthday, not ours. He should be the one getting all the gifts. I get so excited during Christmas time, wondering what glorious presents I will soon unwrap on that joyful morning, but this year, I haven't really cared about what I get. I mean, I do have a few things I want, but I definitely don't need them. I'm hoping that this year, I can put all the presents aside and be great full to God for what I already have.
