What2Say2Day? Ever notice that the week between Christmas and New Years is a quiet one. Many offices are closed or seriously down-staffed, the malls are emptier, the home decorations begin to come down and even the city lights seem to have less glow. It's almost as though Christmas is over.
Let me repeat again today a very Merry Christmas to you! Yes, We're still in Christmastime. And, if we want it to be, Christmas is with us every day all year long. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ in the lives of mankind. Therefore, every time Christ is born in the heart, soul and mind of one person isn't that a celebration of Christmas?
Christmas is not about the giant Santa in the mall, nor is it about the bright ribbon and tinsel displays on every tree lining the streets of your town. We don't need television commercials with cute children singing catchy tunes set to Christmas carols to remind us. All we need is the knowledge that Jesus is born in us, and lives through us, so that we will bring the Christmas message of hope, peace, joy and love to everyone we meet.
So, as the decorations come down and the radios stop playing your favorite songs remember that we carry
the Light of God through the one that was born within us on a day that was most likely not December the 25th. May Christ live in you forever and may you bring Christmas to others all year long.
