Merry Christmas!

i hope that everyone's Christmas has been wonderful. i've spent most of the day being with my family. i've realized that no matter how long or hard a year it has been, whenever Christmas comes around things may become more stressful buying those few last gifts, wrapping them or decorating the house, but in the end there's something about Christmas that brings a family together. whether it be cooking in the kitchen, playing cards around the table or creating new traditions. sometimes people lose the value of what Christmas really means, that it's just one day of the year where they get to open presents. although i;m not sure why we get presents when it's Jesus's birthday, this day means so much more. i heard this song and here's the lyrics to it because i thought it was a sweet reminder of what today really means:

 What if ribbons and bows didn't mean a thing?

Would the song still survive without five golden rings?

Would you still wanna kiss without a misletoe?

What would happen if God never let it snow?

What would happen if Christmas carols told a lie?

Tell me what would you find

You'd see that today holds something special,

Something holy, not superficial,

So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives.

It's something we all try to ignore,

And put a wreath up on your door,

So here's something you should know that is for sure

Christmas must be something more.

What if angels did not pay attention to

All the things that we wished they would always do,

What if happiness came in a cardboard box?

Then I think there is something we all forgot.

What would happen if presents all went away?

Tell me what would you find

You'd see that today holds something special,

Something holy, not superficial,

So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives.

It's something we all try to ignore,

And put a wreath up on your door,

So here's something you should know that is for sure

Christmas must be something more.

We get so caught up in all of it

Business and relationships

Hundred mile an hour lives

And it's this time of year

And everybody's here

It seems the last thing on your mind

Is that the day holds something special

Something holy, not superficial

So here's to Jesus Christ who saved our lives

It's something we all try to ignore

And put a wreath up on your door

But here's something you should know that is for sure

Christmas must be something more.
