25 Days of Christmas

Christmas is such a wonderful, joyous time of year but we somehow seem to let it fly by each year too quickly. In an attempt to slow down and cherish each day, I hope to blog about how we celebrated Christmas each day this month. Having three small children (one of which is celebrating her first Christmas this year!) does bring an extra dose of cheerfulness to this month, but also in my adult, spiritually mature mind, I can also get quite caught up in the mystery of it all.

Jesus, the Creator of the universe, humbly took the form of man and came to live on earth for one purpose: to allow His creation, mankind, a chance to get to know God personally. It is just amazing! To be a mother is to know firsthand how fragile and helpless a newborn baby is. Jesus left the splendors of heaven and was born as a baby into a dirty, animal stable. And we get upset about having to run errands on a rainy day.

Thank you, Jesus, for being our best Christmas present ever!

Merry Christmas!
