Luke 2: 8-12

"And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

I think everyone's heard the story of Jesus' birth. Even some non-believers. It's almost Christmas, so I was thinking about that; the 'reason for the season'. :) I know without a doubt why we celebrate Christmas. And anyway, you can't spell Christmas without Christ. Now I don't believe in Santa Claus and I don't think reindeer can fly. But I know that a lot of people associate presents with Christmas. If you think about it, when Christ was born, God was setting things in motion for our eternal gift of life. So maybe it's true. But don't get so caught up in the holidays that you forget what Christmas is all about. Be with your families, celebrate and have fun, but remember who's birthday your celebrating. :)
