There is this one Christmas song I've been listening to that I really like by a guy name sufjan stevens. The song is "It's Christmas let's be glad."

Lately I've been trying to figure out why I like Christmas so much. Or maybe more accurately how best to understand the holiday. Just a few minutes ago I was praying and playing through Oh Come All Ye Faithful. In the midst of that, I had a thought. Maybe we should approach Christmas like we do Palm Sunday. In case you and I approach Palm Sunday differently I'll explain. 

Maybe Christmas is a very simple holiday. Maybe we are just supposed to come and shower worship on Jesus. For one short little time everything stops and we call Jesus who he is, sing to him, remember him. I mean the day is coming where all of life will center on Jesus, but right now we can only manage that for moments. Maybe that's Christmas...Jesus Son of God, really good guy, worthy of my time, my nice clothes, my good cheer, my songs, my praise. Pretty simple. 

Merry Christmas everybody.
