It's finally here. After weeks of preparation, perspiration and great anticipation, the big day has arrived!

 

Despite the excessive commercialism, conflicting "holiday" song content, distracting alternative seasonal themes and ACLU  efforts to  spare the  "thinkers"  from those offensive nativity scenes, be sure that JESUS CHRIST IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON. Through  His birth, life, crucifixion and resurrection, we've been offered the ultimate gift. And it's a FREE gift for us ALL to receive — now, or at ANY TIME of year!

 

 

For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son,

so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16 (NLT)





Hey, don't get me wrong — I love gettin' cool stuff as much as the next guy, but I'm personally much more into giving — especially at Christmastime. It's just more fun.

 

You should remember the

words of the Lord Jesus:

"It is more blessed to give

than to receive."

Acts 20:35 (NLT)

 

So, what's your story? What does Christmas mean to you? Whaddya get or give that was particularly cool, fun or just plain awesome? Also feel free to share any other amazing personal holiday thoughts or experiences.
 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

It's certainly no revelation that I've got a "thing" for hats.

And Michelle totally hooked me up for Christmas this year!
