Hello Citizens of Internet Land! I'm Back! Sorry for my Idleness, I have been neglecting this Blog for too long. But I am now going to address a subject that many have on they're minds right now...Christmas! most people are thinking about what to do about the snow, what to get for people, what to ask for, when to get good deals at the store, when to get a tree, how to decorate, which family members to see, and on and on and on. I am worrying about none of that.
When I was in Germany It was easy to get caught up in the season of Christmas Markets and Friends and Cookies. I often was so into all the little things that come with the season the I altogether forgot what it was all about. I celebrated advent but didn't take time to read the accounts of Jesus' Birth personally and thank him sincerely for what he did. The last year I spent in Germany I never even felt that warm fuzzy feeling you get from listening to Christmas music in the car or even the excitement of waking up on Christmas morn itself. I simply went through the motions.
Alas this year I shall not get carried away in the traditions and routines of this season. Rather, I have made a decision before December even came to put my focus on, and acknowledge the Lord for his sacrifice by coming to us as a baby, and dig up the meaning and passion of Christmas much like you would dig up decorations from your attic. I hope as well that you would all do the same. Merry Christmas Folks!
