Can you believe it's already december 20th? I don't know about you guys, but it certainly doesn't feel much like the Christmas season to me. Finals and other work have been pretty much consuming my life for the past couple weeks and being on campus isn't exactly the best way to get into the Christmas spirit. It occurred to me yesterday that people would be expecting presents from me, and so I started thinking about the logistics of shopping and how to select gifts for people without going broke. These days, I see the people buying trees and hear the songs about rudolph and frosty but it just doesn't seem to excite me, the way it did when I was younger.
However, Christmas isn't about gifts, reindeer, or some fat guy in a red suit (as much as TV may try to convince us otherwise). It's about the birth of our Savior, a fact that often gets forgotten. So as you finish up exams and start heading home for the holidays, don't forget to keep the CHRIST in christmas-- now that's a reason to rejoice! :-)
Have a blessed holiday, if I don't see you (i'm outta here at 5:30pm today....). I'll keep sending these along as often as I can!
