Why I love Christmas – First Thoughts

Happy Christmas Dear Reader,

I wonder what God wants for Christmas? Do we really consider that?  I love Christmas.  Year round there is something to remind me of Christmas in every room of my home.  I think about Christmas all year long.  .

My focus is mostly on the advent of Christ and the beginning of the physical aspect of our redemption.  I also love the trimming, decorations, music, and excitement.  I plan and shop all year long.  I listen to what my children want when they are in casual conversation and take notes.

I see December when my open kindness is appreciated.  I can be jolly without seeming out of place.  As we journey toward Christmas Day I am going to discuss why I love Christ mas so much.  I would also value your input on this Holy Day.  Walk with me for a bit.  Perhaps we can share some Christmas cheer and warm each other’s hearts. 

I wonder what God wants for Christmas – Darius Rucker

Old man playing Santa Claus

Blue in a town with old Jack Frost

Now he's handing out candy canes and smiles for free

People scoring with their lists

Rushing around to buy those gifts that will

End up wrapped up underneath the tree

I'm sitting at this red light looking at a manger scene

Watching snowflakes kiss that baby

And it makes me think

I wonder what God wants for Christmas

Something that you can't find in a store

Maybe peace on Earth, no more empty seats in church

Might be what's on His wish list

I wonder what God wants for Christmas

What do you give someone

Who give His only Son

What if we believe in Him

Like He believes in us

I wonder what God wants for Christmas

What might put a smile on His face

Every bubble with no dust, the devil given up

Might be what's on His wishlist

I wonder what God wants for Christmas

What kind of gift from you and me

More sister, more brother, more lovin' one another

Yean I wonder, I wonder what God wants

By now we oughta know what God wants for Christmas

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure store."
