Where do I find my Christmas joy? What makes this season so important? There are so many reasons why Christmas brings me joy. First, there is the miracle of Christmas...that God would become a man and live among us because He loved us so much. This concept is mind-boggling to me. Who would want to trade heaven for life here on earth?I also find joy in my family. During December we get to spend more time with each other. Life slows down a bit for us after all the Christmas preparations have been made. I find joy in my sons' excitement over Christmas. I find joy in our Christmas traditions: decorating the tree, setting up our village, reading one of the Jotham books.
Other things that bring me Christmas joy: my favorite Nativity scene (seen above), the woodsy smell of pine, Christmas lights on homes in our town, eggnog, cookies, and Christmas music.
"Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10-11
