No doubt Christmas is one of the most celebrated holidays to grace the world. Regardless of where you are, what you do, or how you manage in life, there is always the rush of the holiday spirit that makes you feel that the birth of Jesus Christ draws near.
The season will truly ring a bell once you see the world around you change into the familiar sights that mark the start of the holiday season.
Christmas Reflections
Colors of red and greed against a backdrop of snow show up in a neighbor’s house. That shop from a few blocks away brings out the time-revered images of Santa Claus and Christmas stars on display. The other side of your neighborhood sets up a Christmas tree adorned with glittering balls and shiny strings. You also hear a nearby group practicing their carols in anticipation.
Pulling out your bag, you remember that Christmas list of what you’re supposed to decorate your own home with, and those promised gifts you are going to be handing out to friends and family who will pay your place a visit in a few months or so.
Soon, you’d be busy doing your shopping like many other people readying for the holiday rush. This will be quite the season to be jolly – even after being tired and beat going from one place or another to complete your list.
Although we celebrate Christmas in different ways, we should bear in mind that this is the season we pay our respects to the Savior born in a manger a long time ago.
Here is a collection of quotes from people, works of fiction, and other sources all throughout time and space, all in the name of keeping in mind what matters as we go through celebrating this holiday season:
