My daughter attended elementary school (grades K-5th) at The Cathedral School, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Little Rock. A yearly tradition, of course, was The Christmas Pageant.

Santa Claus Is In Town!

It's Christmas Day

 

Merry Christmas 

It's Today! 

 

Happy Birthday Jesus

Happy Birthday to our Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, Lord of our savior!

 

It is very easy to get distracted during the Christmas season and focus on the decorating, gifts, Santa Claus and the tree.  Christmas is the season during which Christians give thanks to God the Father for the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ.  This joyous cycle begins on December 25, the Festival of the Nativity of our Lord, more commonly known as Christmas. With the birth of Jesus Christ, Christianity essentially begins; thus, Christmas also celebrates the beginning of Christianity.

 

The joy of celebrating truly is being with loved ones and gathering to nourish our bodies and give thanks and it's OK to enjoy the gifts under the Christmas tree too - just don't forget the reason you are celebrating this special day!

 

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas

 

Thank you for blogging with me these past 12 days!  I wish you much joy and happiness celebrating Christmas Day.  Go ahead and indulge - eat too much - eat pie - eat cake - celebrate! 

Merry Christmas

and

Happy New Year to YOU!

  

Cheers,

Gayla
