Well it's that time of year again! (Christmas)

Here we go again..

It's the time of year that people spend money they don't have on people they don't like for gifts that they don't need..

I'm joking, but let's be honest, that's a hefty majority.

But seriously, it's the time that we celebrate the birth of Jesus. It's a thing to think about the fact that God saw fit to send himself in the form of his Son to live a life with the purpose of setting an example and dying for our sins.

A lot of people celebrate Christmas the wrong way, and they put all their joy in the things that don't measure up to the real meaning of Christmas. Then again, a lot of people who claim to celebrate Christmas for the right reasons focus all their thoughts on being angry at the people who do it the wrong way. I'm quite the opposite. I know that the media regards Santa Clause as the poster-boy for Christmas, and gift giving seems like the biggest source of joy. But hey, i just love the fact that in this time of year, regardless of the reason, people do seem to have a joy, even if its just for a few weeks.

I love the fact that everyone is (generally) in a great mood this time of year. And regardless of the reason why they are, i know that i'm going to be happy because my Savior was born, and he still lives. And because he lives, so can I.
