Christmas is pretty well-known to be a stressful time of the year. And what for? Jesus has already given us the best gift possible.<br /><br />As always your pictures were lovely. And the video made my eyes tear up; it was so precious.

I think we go around saying &quot;Jesus is the Reason for the season&quot; so much that we forget what we&#39;re really saying. You told this simple truth in a way that was easy to understand, without losing an ounce of its meaning. Thank you for that. :)<br /><br />I hope y&#39;all have a wonderful Christmas!<br /><br />Love and Blessings,<br />Elizabeth RoseMiss Elizabeth Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06189749698162749581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34914513.post-60948003926044868932011-12-24T07:43:12.184-06:002011-12-24T07:43:12.184-06:00Oh and thanks for reminding us all that Christmas is about the birth of Christ! We can all know in the back of our minds that it is about Him, but it is nice to see it written as a friendly reminder. :-]Anna Grayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15963953862004799101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34914513.post-12169683095783158192011-12-24T07:42:14.229-06:002011-12-24T07:42:14.229-06:00This was such an awesome post! I agree with each and every word you said. In our culture, everyone gets so tied up Christmas being about gifts, treats, music, etc. that they miss the entire point. I am guilty of that too. <br /><br />Beautifully written.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Anna Grayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15963953862004799101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34914513.post-38039309871080709932011-12-24T02:45:47.944-06:002011-12-24T02:45:47.944-06:00Merry Christmas!

I think that a slight lack of enthusiasm must come with growing up, I&#39;ve felt kind of the same. I&#39;m also been learning how to celebrate Christmas in a different culture this year, Christmas markets and live nativities in the streets... My heart&#39;s been on quite an adventure. Have you ever spent a Christmas in Germany? I&#39;d love to hear about it sometime. :)<br />Have a blessed Christmas dear!

I seem to have been more excited for Christmas in November than I am now, two days away. But you&#39;re so, so right. We often forget to put things in perspective, and it&#39;s important to <i>never</i> forget the gift of our Savior, especially at this time when it seems so easy, even though He&#39;s what it&#39;s all about anyway.<br /><br />Oh, and that video? Well, it may have just made my day.Jennoellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04489681148073963683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34914513.post-71376345120091805142011-12-23T21:24:54.725-06:002011-12-23T21:24:54.725-06:00That video was the sweetest thing ever.
