Its That Time Of Year!
“It’s that time of year!” Mom and Dad say when you question the packages on the porch.
“It’s that time of year.” you shrug as you throw your change in the Salvation Army bucket.
“It’s that time of year? Again?” wonder your grandparents as they reflect on all the other memories they have had at ‘that time of years’ past.
“It’s that time of year!” your little brothers and sisters giggle as you string lights all around and cover the Christmas tree with ornaments.
“It’s that time of year.” your parents say as they make lists of people to get gifts for.
“It’s that time of year.” you say as you take just one more helping of sweets.
You know what I am talking about Christmas but what is this time of year? A time of gifts, family, lights and happiness? Or is it something more?
Lots of people say that ‘Christmas isn’t about giving gifts’ Well, yeah actually that is all that Christmas is about. Christmas is about God giving his son to die for our sins and us recieving eternal life through him. That is what Christmas is about. There is a great Christmas talk by Louie Giglio that I am sure you will all enjoy.
Enjoy! and Merry Christmas!
