Jesus came into this world to complete a mission. That mission was to die so that I might have eternal life. The time set aside to celebrate his birth is a reason to sing songs of joy, not to grumble and complain. <br /><br />Well written!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010952548206164640.post-50295854413851008922011-11-27T20:44:37.013-05:002011-11-27T20:44:37.013-05:00Great article.

I have a couple of sets, I do! <br /><br />We used to put up our tree ON Thanksgiving because it was the only time we had to do it. After that we were off and running due to our retail store.<br /><br />Put up tree, cook turkey, eat, then go to work to prepare for the Black Friday crowd. <br /><br />We were the Retailers....not the shoppers.Have Myelin?https://www.blogger.com/profile/05704037582961814202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010952548206164640.post-35756672811038201232011-11-26T07:45:59.062-05:002011-11-26T07:45:59.062-05:00AMEN!!!

So we don't celebrate it commercially. A few gifts for the children, a big holiday dinner, and spending quality time with our loves ones. We also volunteer at the homeless shelter, helping to dish out the Christmas meal. We donate to the women's community house, and "adopt" a needy family- providing them with a hamper full of all the fixings for Christmas dinner, and a few small gifts for the family.<br /><br />Christmas is what YOU make it, not what the retail stores do.<br /><br />CheersKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051732856820479687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010952548206164640.post-58655198053225147112011-11-25T11:17:31.695-05:002011-11-25T11:17:31.695-05:00What great post!
