What is Chritmas? Many things- “Christmas is a person reflecting God's love by taking presents to family who would not have had much Christmas without it. And the recipient family feeling there is a God. “Christmas is the lonely, homebound person sanding at the door of her house with tears in her eyes as children in warm clothing standing in the snow singing, “Silent Night” and “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.” “Christmas is a father or mother reading the Christmas story from the second chapter of Luke to their small children. “Christmas is a hand drawn picture of a nativity scene in crayon on a piece of grocery bag with the words, “Mary Christmas from Jimmy.” It is a finger painting of an angel with the title, “Harold the Angel.” “Christmas is excited giggling children taking a plate of cookies and candy to the neighbor lady who is unable to leave her house -- and receiving a hand made tree ornament in return. “Christmas is the family getting dressed at 10 p.m. on Christmas Eve to go to church. “Christmas is a long distance telephone call to a distant family member who cannot be with the rest of the family. “Christmas is a pastor sitting up late at night to find the exact words to say in the Christmas sermon. “Christmas is the choir members staying late for practice to get the timing and harmony correct on eight measures of a new Christmas anthem. “Christmas is a child telling the story of Jesus' birth to another child who has never heard the story and doesn't believe in Jesus. It follows with that child emptying a piggy bank in order to purchase a book with the Christmas story to give to the other child. “Christmas is the person who seeks out those who will be alone at Christmas and takes time to give them a special visit. “Christmas is a special note on a Christmas card that tells the reader how important he or she is to the person writing the note. “Christmas is the special poem being scratched out by the aspiring poet, which captures the essence of God's love in words that touch the hearts of each person reading and hearing the poem. “Christmas is the laughter and love present as a family gathers around a Christmas tree to exchange gifts while still remembering whose birthday it is. “Christmas is a bathrobe-clad shepherd with a painted beard holding a cane and walking behind a wool-covered child singing, “Baa. . .Baa. . .Baa.” “Christmas is the proud look on the face of parents as their “little cherub” sings a carol loudly with a big smile on his or her face. “Christmas is a four-year-old climbing up on the lap of an eighty-year-old and asking, “Did you go to the manger with the shepherds?” And the adult smiling and giving a special hug and saying, “Many times, my child. Many times.” “Christmas is the rapid beating of the heart as the crowd stands and listens to the beautiful singing of the “Hallelujah Chorus” from the Messiah. “Christmas is someone remembering to thank those who have to work on Christmas -- like law enforcement persons, hospital personnel, fire fighters, etc.” And so on and on goes the list... Have a nice day!

Christmas to me is celebrating the birth of Jesus, being thankful for all of my blessings, a time to forget about all the bad things and just be happy, being with my family. And of course the presents don't hurt either, hehe. :)

Christmas is an enjoyment night. We join together in the chill, drink, dine and dance. This is because few friends are christians and they invite other sections for gathering.

A time for showing more love to family and friend, and people alone. It's the birth of Christ, and He should be the center of the day.
