What is there to celebrate Christmas?

With the approach of Christmas, my paycheck, but they are all sold out, I spend my days looking for that elusive gift each of my children I want for Christmas. Certainly, I do not want to be called Scrooge, so that hunting looking for every gift. My children have sent in their lists. But I wonder as I walk in the door even a toy store I forget what we have to celebrate. I do not mean this season will probably fill with happiness and joy. Every year I feelthe suicide rate increased with depression. The day after Thanksgiving is also a person trampled to death. That each of us out there know why we celebrate Christmas?

As I sit here typing this article and you know what I want to celebrate. I want to celebrate the birth of Christ my Lord. I wanted to celebrate was asked why I celebrate his birth at a time of his death we were. The man, who asked me said that it is through his death that we were saved.Yes, it is true, because on the cross for you and me dead, but I only have one question. If it were not born, he could have died for our sins?

I think I have more questions then just that. As I type I think of all the peoples lives he touched, and saved while he was here on earth, he is a model for many as we could not celebrate his birth and his life here on earth with his death. "God sent his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not parishbut have everlasting life. "Do you think many of us have forgotten what we are really to celebrate Christmas, and is far more then this party should be marketed, or other but I think death should be celebrated and I, along with its resurgence sky. Why was his life, we learned the true meaning of unconditional love. We have learned, through his birth, death, life and death, not the end is just the beginning.

For me, after writing this essayI know it's less about the search for those elusive gifts and the more time I spend with my children, that day care. Christmas Eve I think it will be a new tradition to start one, I want to teach my children the true meaning of Christmas and its history, it must be said, so do not forget, so many of us enjoy. I also think I will be looking for new ways to share his joy, love, work, and kindness for my fellow human beings in the new year. After all that lifeeverything is not a new toy to sweep away in a week. I wish everyone a happy Christmas for all and all have a great year!
