It can be easy to lose the wonder that comes with Christmas and the birth of Jesus. We have gotten swept up in the gifts, decorations, and family get-togethers that we miss the reason for Christmas. We miss Jesus in the midst of everything else.
Think back to the night that Jesus was born. This was a night of praise for the angels. Luke, one of Jesus’ closest followers, writes about the angels appearing to a group of shepherds and praising God. They were crying out, “Glory to God!” to praise God on that very first Christmas morning.
What if we thought about Christmas like the angels did? What if, instead of only getting caught up in all of the wonderful things about Christmas, we remembered what Christmas is all about? Christmas is a time for us to reflect on who Jesus is and what God did for us by sending Jesus to us at Christmas.
So today, as we are getting excited about Christmas traditions and gifts and parties and time with family and friends, let’s all take one minute to pause. As you do, remember why we celebrate Christmas in the first place! And then, spend one minute thanking God for sending Jesus to be with us at Christmas.
