Everyone has something they are obsessed with and for me, that's Christmas! Some people think I'm crazy with how obsessed I am with Christmas, but if you stop and think about it, there are many reasons to absolutely love Christmas. There are so many reasons to love Christmas, and why it's not just all about the getting. Here are my reasons why I believe Christmas is so amazing!
1. The Meaning
In today's world we get so caught up in the commercialization of Christmas. We think it's all about all about the presents, and while the presents are nice there is so much more to the holiday. Christmas is supposed the be about celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If it wasn't for Him we wouldn't have been saved from ourselves. I'd say that's something to celebrate.
2. The Lights
This time of year one of the most fun things to do is drive around and see all of the lights. People spend so much time on the decorations and light. When you look at all of it there is something magical about it. The lights are so amazing and beautiful.
3. The Smell
People look at me funny all the time when I say this, but Christmas has a specific smell. It's like a combination of gingerbread, pine needles, and cinnamon. When I smell that Christmas smell it makes me all warm, cozy, and happy.
4. Coming together
Christmas is the one time of the year that families try to come together. This is the time of year that family members will see each other, and not have seen each other for a long time. It's nice that everyone comes together to spend time together, and catch up.
5. Giving Back
As I was saying earlier the presents are nice, but one of my favorite parts is the giving back. There is something about the holiday season that just seems to put people in better moods, and they give back more. I love giving back because just seeing the joy and happiness on people's faces warms my heart and gives me joy.
Christmas is the best holiday ever. There are so many reasons that Christmas is so amazing, and these are just a few reasons. But the most important thing to remember about the Christmas season is that it isn't just about the getting. Remember there are more important reasons to love Christmas.
