It Doesn't Feel Like Christmas

I heard someone say this morning on the television. "It can't be Christmas, its too warm".  They were sitting in New York City and noted that it is only Christmas if it is snowing.  In fact they were flying out to Denver this afternoon so they could experience snow and make it feel like Christmas.     Humm... so we can have no celebration unless it is cold and snowing?   If that is true many people today might as well take all the presents back, call off the evening celebrations and just sleep in tomorrow.  Being right now in Orlando and it's going to be 80 degrees today, I think people in the TV studio should get a life.  

Even if you do not hang onto the true reason for Christmas,  you know it is Christmas!  The lights, the decorations, family gatherings and Christmas Eve services are signs that a special day is coming tomorrow.

So today as you get those last minute gifts or prepare for family and friends, finish plans to a party, get out your nice Christmas outfit for church servcies tonight or even go see Micky Mouse Santa, realize that this day of Christmas is real and has nothing to do with the weather!

Most important just take a minute and know that the Creator of the Universe was so passionately in love with you that He sent His son to bond a relationship that will last throughout eternity.
