'Tis The Season
For me, Christmas is absolutely the happiest time of the year. I would guess that most everyone believes that it should be.... certainly everything in pop culture indicates that it is. But the fact is, for many people, it is a time of misery. Many are lonely. Some mourn the loss of loved ones every Holiday season. Others are tired. Or in debt. Or stressed. Or simply fed up with it all.
We get caught up in traditions & expectations, in obligatory gift giving, and in the frenetic pace of the season. Do you think this is how God intended Christmas to be when He sent His Son to earth? Do you think this is how he wants us to celebrate the birth of Christ?
This Christmas, can you take a moment to step back and focus on what the season is really about? Can you "re-enter" the Christmas story? I challenge you to be a part of giving to those who need it most, to spend time in genuine worship, and to approach everyone with love. If you can do that, I guarantee you that this will be your best Christmas ever!

It was the night before Christmas and all was quiet not even a mouse stood around for the guy. Then out of the chimney came our favorite Santa and with that we all had a good night.
Benigna Marko recalls the nights before Santa with her family and friends. Great memories for all to share. Thank you Santa. Benigna Marko
Wise words, Santa!
God bless you! So beautifully put! Christmas means love, peace, brotherhood, and sharing to me. So, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Christmas blessings to one and all,

Thank you for posting this. It is a good reminder.
For me the best gift I have ever given has been a live call from Santa Claus.
It is amazing to see the face of a child light up at the mere mention of Santa. I came across a holiday website that plays 24 hour a day Christmas music and has a live broadcast every night of Santa Claus reading a Christmas story. My son and I watch every night to hear such incredible bedtime stories from the super hero himself. When I browsed the site I realized they also offer Live Santa calls. The price was amazingly low and the attention Santa gave my son was unmatched. Santa took his time talking to Bret and even emailed me a mp3 recording of the call. I filled out the order form and Santa spoke with Bret like he had known him for years. My son has not stopped talking about the call and many of his friends parents have requested info because of Bret's experience. Thank you HiSantaClaus ,you have given my entire family a Christmas gift.
