Family and Christmas

If Christmas is about anything, it is about spending time with family.

We slow down, put aside the things of this world, and focus on Jesus, and celebrating His birth with those closest to us.

More than any other Christmas season, I have heard it articulated this year that the most meaningful thing at Christmas is being with those whom you love.

On the TV show, "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?", they took a poll of 8 to 12 year olds and asked them, "What do you most enjoy about the holidays?"

A)  Decorating the house.

B) Spending time with family and relatives.

C) Receiving presents.

What do you think most of the children said?

Answer:  B.  Spending time with family and relatives.

Gifts and toys come and go - but the Christmas memories of family stay with  you forever.

I encourage you to create "memories" next week.  Memories that no one will forget.

Just a thought for a Tuesday.
