Isn't There Anyone Who Knows What Christmas is All About?!?!

It is December 14th. By now you have been completely immersed in the Christmas season.  You have no doubt done some Christmas shopping.  Perhaps you have even attended a couple of Christmas parties.  With the big day still 11 days away, we can already begin to feel the effects of the season wearing us down.  One comedian recently wrote, "Having trouble deciding what to do with the next 4 minutes. Listen to the song Christmas Shoes or slam my face against the pingpong table."  He has obviously had his fill of holiday tunes.

At this point maybe you feel like joining Charlie Brown yelling out, "Isn't There Anyone Who Knows What Christmas is All About?!?!"In the classic Christmas cartoon, the frustrated Peanut member cries out for meaning.  Listen to the words quoted by his buddy Linus in response...

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." (Luke 2:8-14 KJV)

This Christmas season, don't miss God who came as a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes laid in a manger. He came to bring peace and good will toward men... Including you!
