While this may not be the actual birthdate of Jesus, it is the time that we celebrate His birth. The wonderful gift God gave to us doesn’t seem to be the focus of the season, and I wish it weren’t that way.
I received some nice gifts this year, but I really don’t think I deserve them. Don’t get me wrong, I’m going to use them and enjoy them. I just think I would be able to appreciate the real reason for Christmas if I wasn’t so preoccupied with what I’m getting everyone or getting for myself from them.
I had a good day anyway, and have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the family.
Merry Christmas!
