Christmas the second

Christmas is a strange time of year and very often very crazy time of year, its the end of the school year (if you live in Australia), with lots of things to do, you have your children's end of year concert, where your busy making costumes or helping with your child's lines etc, then there Christmas parties, you have the classroom parties, the work parties, the extra curricular parties for your kids and your self (their could be a number of those). And of course we can't forget the shopping.

We shop for our self's, our family and friends, its the best time for all the retailers, as they make thousands from selling things that you think people need, very often they will want to return it because they don't like it or they have it. The sadist part is for new pets, they may not like the pet so they take it down to the RSPCA.

Also, theirs Christmas cards, and those beautiful fireworks, and also carols, OK, lets stop for a moment..., think what is Christmas really about..., OK..., think back over 2000 years ago, a baby was born, in a small town called Bethlehem, this baby was born in a lowly barn, but he was the most impotent person of his time and all time.

His name was Jesus, Jesus grew up to preach the word of God and be the beginning of Christianity, so, leading up to Christmas and on Christmas day, think of Jesus, think.., think...

OK, your most likely going to be with family, and spend a lot of time with them, and if not, then many organisations have Christmas lunch and you can have lunch with Gods family.

Marry Christmas
and
A Happy New Year

Christmas

Its almost chrismas, the christmas tree is going up and the decorations on the tree and in the street of every shopping centre (if they wern't up at the end of November, shops are stocking christmas things and have for since after fathers day.

Your faverot radio station is probly playing christmas songs to get you in to the festive spirit. TV ratings have stopped so your faverot TV shows have gone off the air for the summer or winter break and the shows they bought and have to show are on even if their really bad, and don't forget those christmas specils.

Now your probly tring to find presents for your loved ones, and spending a fortune on presents that they may not want, so what does one do, buy a gift voutuer.

Rush, rush, rush, why do we rush, can't we stop and smell the flowers even for just 5 min, enjoy nature, sit down and spend time with your family, talk, chat, about hoe their going.

Hoildays have to be planned, presents to buy, plan for the christmas feast, stuck in trafic, stuck in a long line, driving from here to there, and back again, rush, rush, rush.

STOP and smell the flowers
Take time out and look at the world
How beautiff is Gods creating
Think about it
