Party Hats On

Hello, 

I'm listening to a band, not sure if they are new or old, but they are awesome. Gungor. My brother introduced me to them. 

Christmas was yesterday. The day that Christ was sent from his heavenly home to this evil earth to show us a little bit about what it means to love. Love people, not the presents that are so neatly wrapped under the Christmas tree. 

I'm afraid the meaning of Christmas has been forgotten. The true meaning. People should feel nothing but joy on Christmas Day because each year we celebrate the same coming of Christ from a virgin. Yet, our moods on Christmas change according to the gift we are given. If our gift is awesome, then of course we are going to live out the rest of the day with joy because that gift is on our minds. On the other hand, if we are given something we didn't really ask for or even want, then we are put in a sour mood. I know this because each year my spirit on Christmas is different. 

What if on Christmas Day we were to gather around a tree with nothing underneath? I know I would be disappointed, that's how I know my meaning of Christmas has altered greatly from the true meaning of Christmas. 

This is a bit cliche, but we need to remember the real reason for the season. Seriously. Christmas is over, but the 25th is not the only day we celebrate Christ...it's every day. Every day is a celebration for what Christ has done for us because each day we wake up is Christ giving us a chance at life. A chance to worship Him and show others what love really means. So, even though Christmas has come and gone, it's not too late to remember and celebrate the true meaning of yesterday. So put on your party hats. 

Happy (belated) birthday, Jesus.
