Christmas time is here and it's one of our favorite times of the year.
( It's James favorite of all time)
It's such a great time of year to reflect on what God has given us. Buying and wrapping the presents can be fun a lot of the time but let's not forget Jesus' birth is what Christmas is about.

This time of year I always turn on the radio to Chirstmas music and pretty much listen to it the whole month. (December is the only time of year I will listen to it.)
When ever the song " Christmas time is Here" by Charlie Brown Christmas, comes on I always get a smile on my face. Not only because of the song it self but because of the part in the beginning where Linus describes the meaning of Christmas to Charlie brown.
For some reason it always brings a tear to my eye: )
Linus recites the story of the Nativity from the gospel of Luke.
"And there were in the same country sheperds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
The simplicity of this decription and hearing a little child explain it is priceless.
Be Blessed this Christmas!
