What is Christmas?

It's Christmas!  Everything is at a fevered pitch.  People blow like the wind through, store after store, searching for that perfect gift for that special person on their list.  Lines are long, tempers are short, and the time left till Christmas is even shorter.   We have spent hours scouring the countryside in search for the perfect tree, or we have dragged the tree out of the closet.  We have decorated the house in anticipation of the long-awaited day.  We have planned parties and went caroling all in hopes of capturing the Christmas spirit.   For some, they listen to the weather forecast in hoping that there will be snow in abundance.  We hope that, somehow, the snow the parties, the lights and tinsel, the cards or the brightly adorned tree will bring some holiday cheer to our lonely hearts.  There is one thing that most of us loose sight of around this time of year.  Christmas is not about how many gifts you give or get; nor is it about having the best-decorated house
