The joys of Christmas as a kid is memorable one for my family & I. The midnight opening presents with my folks on Christmas Day. Hanging out on Christmas day with my folks in our Pj’s to play with our new toys. I wished to be a kid again and turn back the clocks.
This Christmas will be a quite different year for my family because special memories will not be there with my dad. My dad was a big part of our Christmas traditions and shared many gifts. My dad was the one to pick up the wrapping paper after the gifts were torn apart. He was the one to hug you when getting a gift from him. He was one to write a special letter to you to say how proud of you as a dad. It will be emptied this year and I don't know how to take this new season of Christmas.
This is why.... I decided after my graduation to visit my family and friends on east coast instead of Christmas shopping. Christmas shopping has not been on top of my list this season. I love looking at decorations and checking out all the great products in the stores but shopping for others is hard for me. The only shopping I'm doing is for my nieces and my nephew. The important factor in all this is fellowship with others. Loving each individual and thanking the Lord for them. Christmas is about more than gifts. It is about the birth of Christ. The miracle story of Christ coming into this world. It is about families and friends coming together as one. Watching children open their gifts and the huge smiles they have. Eating together and sharing laughter. Watching Miracle 34th Street for the 100th time. It about believing amazing miracle on this holiday. It about families praying together. It is about life during this Christmas season. Take the time to enjoy this holiday call “Christmas”. Life is so precious this year.
