In this post I am going to share one very honest truth about myself. I really don't like Christmas. The meaning behind it with the birth of our Savior, yes that's awesome; the tacky decorations, the cold, the busy mall, and the obnoxious music...not so awesome. It's actually really annoying what this world has made Christmas out to be.
There is one thing I love about Christmas. The way a church looks at Christmas time is beautiful. This morning while I was walking into church, I was wishing I was in bed and dreading my next couple of busy weeks in school. Stepping into the sanctuary literally took my breath away. The stage was filled with fresh, red poinsettias and all sorts of Christmas trees covered in white lights.
I was so wrapped up in everything that the beginning weeks of December brings (finals and too many projects!) I forgot all about the season of Advent, the Christmas based sermons, and mostly the joy that comes to people around Christmastime.
So this year, yeah, I think I'm ready for Christmas...just so long as I don't have to listen to the music!
