Yesterday, I was Christmas shopping with my mom. Flustered is an understatement. I was completely discombobulated. The stress of what to get for who and how to get it, as thousands of ads and people tried to rob you of your money, put me over the edge. How can it be that such a sacred holiday to me can be so corrupted from it's true and natural form? Well today that has been answered. By this small link below I am reminded of my love for Christmas was not lost in the bustle of the city at all, but is found once again in the memories of years past. The days I spent caring for others, dropping gifts to houses, visiting elderly, and lastly that special Christmas Eve when my brother and sisters tried their very best to make Christmas as magical as possible for me, make my heart swell with reminiscing.
May we all live in the spirit of Christmas. . .
May we all live in the spirit of Christ. . .
