10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you agood tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth bpeace, good will toward men.
I am hoping everyone is having the greatest Christmas eve there is! I am having mixed feelings. For some reason I dont really feel like it is Christmas. I sit and think about the real meaning of Christmas and the floods of feeling come into my heart. My Savior is the real reason for this time. His life on earth, born into the horrible world. The world that He made ten times better by entering it!
I was also thinking this morning about the presents, and the thought of "Santa Claus". I am drawn back to what my wonderful roommate said about "Santa Claus" and how she doesn't want that in her home. The idea of him giving presents, the whole reason why my parents struggle during this time of year, the reason why kids know they are going without. The presents are nice, but it is so frustrating! Why does the world need "Santa Claus" or the idea of him? Can't the world know that the most easiest and simplist thing we should always think about is Christ!
I am not a scruge, I promise! I LOVE Christmas, I kinda wish that we didnt give Santa a bigger part than Christ. It is CHRISTmas not Santamas!
