This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in clothes and lying in a manger. Luke 2:12
One thought that struck me during this past Christmas was the often asked question "Did you get your tree yet?". Made me think that no one asks "Have you put up your manger scene yet".
Since you have a whole year to work and plan next years' celebration of Jesus' birth maybe consider a table top manger scene or better yet a scene for your front yard. This would be a superb way to get energized for the true meaning of this very Holy season. One of my favorite ornaments is Santa with his hat off kneeling beside baby Jesus. To me that speaks volumes.
Let Christmas and the feeling of its' true meaning last all year. Instead of bemoaning the commercialism of the season try to do something to energize others to celebrate Jesus!
PRAYER: Lord I am grateful for the opportunity to celebrate your birth. Help me maintain that excitement all throughout this year! In Jesus' name. Amen.
