... Forget about rushing crowds, trampling over one another to get the hot item of the year.
Remember putting the finishing touches on that special gift you spent so long to make for someone you love?
Forget about being bothered the day before Christmas HAVING to shop for everyone, and you have no clue what to buy!
Remember everyone waiting patiently by the phone on the wall for that long distant loved one calling at a certain time?
Forget about cell phones, video games, computer, the digital tv.
Remember, as a child, finding special surprizes in your stocking?
Forget about having to buy already made mesh stocking shaped bags full of plastic junk.
Remember spending all day baking and decorating cookies?
Forget about fighting the last minute crowds at the bakery.
Remember gathering together to go Christmas caroling?
Forget the over-played Holiday music of 1,000 versions for 2 mos.
Remember those serving our country overseas,
Forget about war, hatred and disease!

Yes, whatever happened to the good old days? I think we all (myself included) get too caught up in the commercialization of Christmas that we forget what Christmas is really about. I hope that everyone can take even just a few minutes this Christmas to say Happy Birthday to Jesus.

Thank you for these wonderful thoughts for this wonderful time of year, and also remember the star, the baby, the cross and the Grace.
