That Spirt of Christmas

Once again Christmas is upon us all. It is that glorious time of the year that we get to be with the ones we love and share so much joy and cheer. You have to admit it is wonderful feeling. During Christmas we all have a lot of fun, sitting by the fireside, taking walks through the snow, listening to choirs singing about the true meaning of Christmas and reminding us about the birth of the Savior. Lets remember that we can keep this Christmas Spirit all through the year, not just at this special time but all year long.

Sometimes we think the Santa takes away from the true meaning of Christmas, but if you were to take a look into Santa you can see Santa Clause embraces the true Christmas spirit. Santa teaches us to have hope and faith, he also teaches us to give without thought of what we will get in return. Santa spreads joy and hope into they eyes of child and also to adults. The idea of Santa allows us to give and in many situations allows us to give freely. Many times we give gifts with a monetary value but in giving we pass on the Spirit of Christmas to each other.

One thing I have discovered this Christmas season is that Christmas is full of hope. Sometimes we lose focus of the hope that is in Christmas. In the truest form of Christmas we can remember that Christmas celebrates the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and in that we can gain great hope and a light that can guide us through the entire year. Lets keep that Spirit all year round and think of others and carry a Spirit of Love to each other.
