We hear a lot of messages around this time of year that seem to tell Christians to simply ignore cultural Christmas traditions and remember "the reason for the season." But you rarely hear someone remind us that Christmas (and all the cultural trimmings) comes and goes; only Jesus remains. Not only is he the reason for and source of our joy during the holidays, he is the only thing that maintains that joy throughout the rest of the year. Thanks for your insight! You and Anna will make quite the blogging pair, I think! :) Have a wonderful and joyful Christmas. Amen, AJ.

I didnt grow up with any such religious beliefs either, so I can definetly relate. It is funny how a whole new perspective of the Christmas season comes with the acceptance of Christ and the Gospel. It definetly means more I think to those who remember what it is really about. Thanks for this post. As always, your words are quite encouraging! You hit the nail on the head Anna!
