The Christmas Change

I tend to resist change. For me, it breeds anxiety and an uncomfortable state that threatens my status quo. But I know sometimes change proves necessary and beneficial.

This Christmas pushed me into accepting a big change. We found ourselves selling our home in the middle of the holiday season. No putting up a Christmas tree, lights, wreaths, nutcrackers, and other decorations. No deliveries of Amazon packages at the house. Those who know me well understand my frustration…. I decorate almost my entire house, but this year, my Christmas changed.

Jesus Christ is Coming to Town

Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I’m telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
He’s making a list, He’s checking it twice, He’s gonna find out whose naughty or nice,
Santa Claus is coming to town.
He sees you when you’re sleeping, He knows when you’re awake. He knows if you’ve been bad or good,
so be good for goodness sake!

The Christmas Wreath

As I listened to music and pranced around my decorations, my eyes focused on the Christmas wreath hanging on the center of my front door. Despite the many colorful and decorated wreaths available today, I still prefer the traditional green wreath with the red ribbon and red bow. Why? Because it reminds me of the real gift of Christmas given to us many years ago. What gift? The gift of salvation…the gift of eternal life.

Four things about the Christmas wreath point to this precious gift.
