The True Meaning of Christmas

Just around this time of year when I have a thousand things to do, and not enough time to do them all; when I'm standing in holiday lines and losing my patience with my fellow human beings; when I'm reminded of the harsh reality of our finances...or lack there of, I find that it is necessary to STOP, TAKE A BREATH and remind myself just what Christmas is all about!  You see--its easy to get sucked into the shopping and the presents...the stress and the burdens but THIS is what Christmas is really about:

 Joy came down on Christmas Day

As angels came to earth

Heralding the miracle

of our Messiah's birth.
