Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, God the Son.
The angel said to them,
"Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."
And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying:
"Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."
(Luke 2:10-14)
With love in Christ.

Christmas is the Birth of Christ. A time for family to get together no matter their issues *we all have them* Christmas is a reunion and a great break for all people to simply relax with people and reminice because you may never see them again or havent seen them for years anyhow. Christmas is celibration, it is beautiful with decorations, and the most tranquil time of the year. No one is out on the streets, its quite outside, the smell of a fire, and the funny gifts you may not like but know that the person who gave it to you really either tried or was in a rush. it's a meltdown for the end of a year to slow down and review accomplishments. Christmas is good.

Family. Being with family and seeing family that I have not seen for a year, sometimes longer. I love christmas. I love spending christmas with my family and with my 5 year old niece. I love catching up with friends through cards... friends that i often don't have enough time to talk to or write to during the year.

When a bunch of people, or family members that do not get along any other day of the year get together to bs themselves to "pretend" to be somewhat normal and loving towards one another on this day and this day only.
This is the day most people put on those "smiley faces" just as a tradition.........words with no meaning are exchanged....gossip is exchanged.....judgment is given......and it is another excuse to drink your blues away.
