Merry Christmas

I have made it a point to say Merry Christmas this year even though that is frowned on by the very large politically correct company I work for. What do you know I have not had one complaint or bad reaction out of the hundreds of people I've told that. I do have a few tell me "Happy Holidays" back but that's ok with me. It's good to see some of the stores getting back to acknowledging Christmas again and not selling "Holiday Trees". Even the Disney channel has some of the cartoon characters saying Merry Christmas. It's a step in the right direction. If only everyone understood that Christmas is not only about the birth of Jesus but the incarnation of God becoming man to save us from our sins. I have in the past few years dreaded Christmas because of the hustle and bustle. Who would we make mad by not going to this or that Christmas party. I've really focused in on what Christmas really means this year. That's not to say I haven't got caught up a little bit in the commercial side of it. That's almost impossible to escape in our society but I've done a better job this year. I'm very excited for Christmas this year. It's also wonderful to look at Christmas through your kid's eyes. The challenge is teaching them the true meaning of Christmas. Collin really seems to be getting it now. We must be doing something right. Thanks for reading my ramblings this year.
