I guess it caught me by surprise. The Christmas spirit. I was taking the boys to school and the radio was playing Christmas songs. With out knowing it I was singing along with Bing Crosby to the tune of Little Drummer boy. Then Frosty the snowman came on, followed by a long string of holiday specials. It felt good to belt these songs out and out of tune. I'm looking forward to my eldest sons Christmas show. Last year he was a Elf in a few songs, this year its Jingle bell rock. TO watch the joy in the kids faces is whats special to me....
I just refuse to go shopping at the malls and most large stores. I find that whole part of Christmas wrong the greed the noise and chatter. I don't know if any one else feels this way or its just me. The whole thing that Christmas in this country starts right after Halloween and "officially" starts the day after Thanksgiving. It even extends until after the new years. ..... May be if I had money following out of my pockets I would care more but being just me I view it as an abomination against God. The whole Mammon thing just waiting in the wings... the stuff without Christ. Agggggg enough.
This Christmas we'll have the family over, cook a turkey maybe a ham and just keep it small and watch a few holiday movies. I always enjoy ; Christmas story,Charlie Brown Christmas, Christmas vacation, its a wonderful life and others may be even Santa Claus vs the Martains....... Whats your favorite Christmas movie? Any ways stay warm , drive safe and I hope you get every thing you asked for on your list...... Peace.
