Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

I know some of ya’ll feel that this season is all about giving, and you’re right. I know you know that Christ was not born in December but in the late summer or early fall. I know all this too, but I still like this season. It brings back the memories of being a kid, of getting roller skates and overall. Roller skates- not in-line skates how the hell do people skate on those thing anyway? I think about the Christmas we spent at Grady’s’ emergency room when my sister broke her arm on those roller skates. This season brings back great memories for me. The joy and excitement of the Christmas pageant every year at our church- Bethlehem Church of God Holiness. We would practice for months our part and each year put on a play. I wonder if they still do that.

When I got older and had children the old feelings came back. Although trying to put together my boys bikes with a butter knife and toe nail clippers were by no means fun. But I got them together. They rode those bikes Christmas morning until the front wheel came off. Next year I paid to get them assemble.

My Children are older now, no bikes, ping-pong tables or Nintendo games for them. I’m really at a lost as to what to get them, but I don’t sweat it. They seem to be happy with whatever I get. I have grandchildren they’re young 1 and 2 so they have no idea what’s going on.

I like the feeling that comes with this season more than anything. I like knowing that Christ is born, and that he was sent to take away my sins and prepare a room in his Father house. I like knowing that Christ is King of Kings. I like this season.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
