As we speed towards the Holiday celebration of Christmas, let us all remember that it is not about the gifts or the massive food spreads or who spent the most or any of the other commercialization things that go on.  It is about the pure genius of the man Jesus of Nazareth that realized the only way to save mankind from itself was for him to die on the cross and be resurrected as the Christ.

Solomon wrote it dest about this time of the year, things to keep in mind as we go about our last-minute shopping.  Remember to take deep breaths, relax and enjoy the celebration of Jesus' birth.  No gift or last second anything is worth your health or your spirituality.

1  For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven:
2  a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3  a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4  a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5  a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6  a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7  a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8  a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8  (ESV)
