A man went to his pastor and told him he couldn't get into the Christmas spirit. He said, "I've tried all the things you suggested, lights, a tree, buying gifts, caroling, everything.. i just can't get into the Christmas spirit. The pastor said,"of course you cannot, it's not about that at all, all those are just distractions". I heard that and thought how much I along with everyone else misses the meaning of Christmas for most of the season. Caught up in buying a tree, decorating, shopping, parties, food, friends, gift exchanges, what I want, what I give, and most of the time forgetting what the season is all about. That sounds sounds familiar doesnt it. Like we hear it in church every year? Yeh I think it does, but none the less, true.
