The month of December is always exciting: decorating, baking, getting together with family and friends. Most importantly, it's a dedicated time to reflect on the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
I'll be taking a blogging break on Thursdays this month to enjoy the season and work on a few surprises to be unveiled in the New Year.
Please join me on Mondays for some special posts leading up to Christmas!
God Bless,
Hi, Maria:
ReplyDeleteDecember is one of my favorite months for the reasons you mention in your post. I appreciate your picture of the manger scene. With public spaces becoming more sanitized, it's easier for people to forget the spiritual and contemplative meaning--versus the commercial--of Christmas. My daughter's public school won't even allow images of Santa because he's "too religious," and forget about a Christmas tree! That's OK--it's the Christmas season in our home, with images of the manger scene up on our windows, a Christmas tree in the living room and Christmas music playing in the background. Love this time of year!
Enjoy the season, and God bless...
Great to see you Janette! Wow - I can't believe a public school believes images of Santa are too religious! Glad to hear how you're celebrating the season at your home. It's all about keeping Christ in Christmas, right?!
DeleteBlessings to you this beautiful season!
