All over the world, in most countries, in almost every single house, Christmas is celebrated. It has to be one of the most celebrated holidays in the world! To some it means: Getting presents, spending time with your closest family, and (for some) going to the Christmas eve service. For others it means, It means going around to the families who might not have a real Christmas, to give. One of the last ways Christmas is celebrated is giving to God. I mean after all, it is Jesus's Birthday! Maybe you are one of those people who are all three!
This Christmas is going to be hard. Just last year we were in Africa. We were struggling to go through this season without my family, my friends, and (as much as I hate to say this) the real presents. It was unbelievably hard to go through some of my favorite holidays without all these key things. Now, I have all these things and I still don't feel complete. If not worse than I did last year. Yes it was different, but it really taught me that Christmas isn't really about anything, but God.
So this holiday season what are you celebrating?
