In one week- Christmas will be over

In seven days this may be the scene at your house.  Or maybe a couple of days later.  Either way, Christmas will be over.

Or will it?

It all depends on what Christmas means to you.

The Christmas meaning TEST:

-When December One arrives do you begin to hyper-ventilate over all the gifts you have to buy or get all giggly inside over being able to give anything, especially your own made gifts, to people you love?
-When December 15 arrives do you fall into bed exhausted from parties you HAD to go to and decorating, meals, stuff you HAD to do or do you fall into bed feeling ready to sleep well so you can rise tomorrow to more blessings from God?
-When you realize you'll never have enough money to buy what you want to give do you max out the card or get creative making personal cards, poems, pictures, ornaments?
-When Christmas Eve arrives are you happy to be going to church, visiting family and friends, or focusing on what cousin whoever will do this year that will offend you?
-When Christmas Day is over will you thank God that it's over or thank God that today is another opportunity to celebrate Christmas all over again?

Yes Virginia, Christmas really is all about attitude.  Yours. Your attitude to the season and your belief in not just the meaning of the holiday, but the Jesus who made it possible.

Matthew 11: 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
