My Christmas rant ....

This is my Christmas rant

and I'll never rant about it again

but......

sometimes I just get frustrated over a couple of things about Christmas

first off, it is Jesus' birthday

that is what Christians are celebrating

if it wasn't for that, there would be no Christmas

we would all work on Dec 25th

and please, I realize that the 25th is not the "actual" date

but that is what we are celebrating

so technically, if you are not a Christian, you shouldn't celebrate

Jesus' birthday

I am a Christian

I believe in Jesus Christ

I believe in heaven

I know that one day, when my old body gives out

I will join Jesus in heaven

I try to live as a Christian and I'm sure most of the time I fail

but I still try

and I know Jesus still loves me

and every single morning when I wake up, I thank him for another day

and every evening when I go to bed, I say thank you again

 

and during Christmas, I celebrate his birth

and I shower my family in gifts out of love

I get very aggravated at the small minority that is offended by

someone saying Merry Christmas.....excuse me, that is what it is!

I'm not going to say Happy Holidays because it's Christmas, so that's what I say. I'm not offended by other religions celebrations so don't be offended

by mine!

 

second......I get tired of people complaining about the "commercialism"

of Christmas. You know, it's as commercial as you choose to make it!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with decorations going up early

they are beautiful

they make people smile

for some reason people are nicer, happier during the Christmas holiday

so if we can stretch that happiness into 2 months, 2 1/2 months

then I think that is great....quit complaining

 

third....just quit complaining about everything!!

life is short, enjoy your very limited time here

if you've ever lost anyone close to you at a young age, you should

understand this. Cherish every moment that you

are alive.

look on the bright side of things

be happy....and remember, no one is responsible

for your happiness but you!

 

I not only cherish every day I have but I especially cherish

Christmas time. It is a celebration of the birth of our Lord

how can it not be wonderful

soak in that love......it's all around you

 

ok, I'm done

 

later.....
