The month of December is unquestionably the busiest month. Parties, parades, seeing Santa, shopping, cooking, wrapping, mailing cards, Christmas programs, concerts, decorating, and cooking keep us busy.
 
I remember standing in the Santa line at the mall many years ago. My kids didn’t cry but some did. Most parents have the “Santa-lap” pictures. I hope we don’t get so busy that we forget the reason for baby Jesus.

He left the splendor of heaven,
Knowing His destiny
He came with love and compassion
to lay down his life for me.
If that isn’t love, then heaven’s a myth.
 
Don’t keep Jesus in the manger. See Him on the cross and rising from the dead.
