You are so right. Christ without Christmas is very empty and profitless. God bless your Christmas as well! :) Miss Jen, that is so kind of you. It is so easy to forget the reason we celebrate. I want to get better at remembering. :) Blessings to you too! Olivia, thank you! You are so right. Christ without Christmas is very empty and profitless. God bless your Christmas as well! :)

How sad, but how true that so many people forget the reason for the season. Let us pray that we (Christians) do not forget this truth even in the midst of our Christmas preparations! Many Blessings, Jenny P.S. Neat Picture! :) Lovely poem, Kaysie!

Christmas with all it's lights and frills is still empty without Christ... without Christ it's just Mas... and that's not very exciting. :p God bless you and your Christmas, Kaysie!

Come to think of it, the world is totally consumed by the outward appearances of Christmas instead of the internal meaning and focus -- and I think the "Christmas spirit" is our weak attempt to reconcile. Also, thanks for the link! :) Arianna, thank you. :) Lori, what great thoughts on the whole “Christmas spirit” thing.
