...my two front teeth!
...is a white Christmas.
...is world peace and goodwill toward men.
These are the sayings. All I want for Christmas... When did Christmas become a "wanting" holiday? Was it big businesses trying to cash in on the holiday or was it a simple act of giving to one another and it was taken over by greed and sin? God did "gift" us on Christmas, with a gift that should shadow no other. But are we satisfied with that at Christmas or do we buy into the frazzle and craziness of the holiday. I would have to say that I don't, but I love giving gifts and buying them. I love to see a smile and surprise on some one's face when they receive. These are material things, things that fade, break and collect dust. There is one Gift that a Giver has blessed us with that will last forever. That gift was given on the day called, Christmas. The Gift came in a tiny package but it has lasted for thousands of generations. That Gift had a humble beginning but is everlasting in power and joy. That Gift is a Gift that we can give to others by telling them. Can you imagine the joy that God feels when someone unwraps His Gift - to see the smile and surprise on a new believers face! May this be what we want for Christmas too! May you give the Gift this year to someone! Merry Christmas!

I remember how it felt to discover the Gift for the first time - to unwrap it over and over again is what I hope for this Christmas.
Great post, Steph.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
And gratefully, despite the hoopla and defiance over nativity sets, the greeting Merry Christmas and political correctness, Jesus still lives on, day after day, and still people are accepting Him into their lives.
Merry Christmas!!!
