What christmas is all about


So its Christmas and I have nothing to actually stay up for this year. This amazes me how the year of my 18 birthday everything changes. First it snows like crazy on my bday, then my mom doesn’t even get me a Christmas gift, she thought that by taking me on a shopping spree would make up for it, which sounds good to me. All the new privileges that I have I can’t even do because it’s snowing.... but I can’t believe this is the first Christmas where im not all geeked up to stay up until 12 to open presents. I don’t even have a Christmas tree.. smh But yet and still that’s not going to ruin my Christmas day because this day wasn’t meant for me it was meant for Jesus. My day was two days ago. So now I can really appreciate the day that Christ was born. People have turned Christmas into a day where we just celebrate and exchange gifts. Our society has made up this fictitious figure that they call Santa Claus to substitute jesus. When really this day was suppose to be in remembrance to the day that Jesus was born. Families fail to explain to their children the significance of this day. So they use the myth stories such as Santa Claus and his rain deer to substitute the story about the day Jesus was born. They figure because kids are to young to understand the importance of Christmas they don’t even bother to mention the true meaning. Thank you lord for this day. I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas and don’t forget about what Christmas is really all about.
