It’s easy to get caught up in the modern day trappings of Christmas, but still miss the joy that comes from the little things. Many Christmas TV specials have been relegated to online viewing, but you may remember the Charlie Brown scene where Charlie Brown asks if anyone knows what Christmas is about, and Linus recites the story of Christ’s birth from Luke 2. In a culture where commercialism ramps up the final quarter of the year, it’s easy to forget that Christmas isn’t really about us- our family, friends, church, presents- but it’s about Jesus. And that’s where the true joy comes from.
