TIS THE SEASON!

I love Christmas! It is really cold here in Kentucky. The frost nips my nose as I drink hot chocolate with just a little hint of peppermint. The lights are so pretty and twinkly. I love the colors as they dance across the sky in the night. The little kids are smiling and timidly peeking at Santa Claus behind their Moma's legs. The bells ring and coins clink into the red bucket of the Salvation army. The Christmas music rises into the atmosphere lifting spirits and bringing smiles. I wander if Jesus looks down from heaven and is happy because of the celebrations. Or is he sad. Does he weep over our world today like he wept over Jerusalem? I don't ever want to forget why I celebrate Christmas. I want Jesus to know that I remember why he came to earth. Thank you Jesus for the most precious gift you could have ever given me. I hope you are smiling down on me.
