Beautiful post and what Christmas is always about.

Just thinking today, Christmas Day, the arrival of Jesus is just so wonderful and Im so grateful He came for me. Without Him life is just not worth living and nothing else will ever satisfy me.

What does Christmas Day mean to you?

To me Laraine it means HOPE ,,, and we all need that

The song "Oh, Holy night" says a lot for me.

O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

Refrain:
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine

Hope, love, Christ, Wonder, .....wow, could I EVER describe it!!!!!

Beautiful comments!

Christ is the only thing that makes Christmas 'magical'. Families have feuds, presents come and go, but Christ is the reason we celebrate and in the end, He's the only one who can give us real joy!

Amen GreenGirl, lets not forget the "reason for the season".

Sitting down at lunch with a Christian family on Christmas Day everybody was ready to start with no sign of grace. Raised my hands, stretched out one to my hostess and the other to my hubby and asked who was going to say grace. My hostess said grace and the atmosphere that had been charged with preparation turned to one of peace as we all slowly picked up our knives and forks. I nearly forgot grace too in all the busyness and excitement of the day - so easy to forget the reason for the season.
