'Tis the season to celebrate His birth!!!

Christmas is in the air! Ah, such a glorious feeling!

I was soooooo ready to start decorating and listening to Christmas music! This time of year gets me so pumped up to...............celebrate Christ's birth. To be with family and friends. To get cozy in front of the fireplace with cocoa and brownies. To watch Christmas movies. To make a difference in someone's life. To just be alive.

And I think the rest of the world feels the same way. Even if they aren't Christians, people can't help but feel jolly and merry this time of year. Why is that, I wondered.
Then I started thinking that the answer is simple: Jesus Christ was born.

'But Lily' you might be saying, people who aren't Christians don't care that Jesus was born.

Fine. That's true. But (as my witnessing class has discussed) God gave humans an innate sense that there is something out there, something that created the world, something that has power over everything. Unfortunately for some, they search for this something in other religions: Islam, Buddhism, or Hinduism. *note: I am going to stray away from discussing this issue further and delve in to it another time. (:
I believe that this innate sense is what makes people so happy this time of year. They know, whether they admit it or not, that Jesus Christ was born. There's my theory on this 'holly and jolly' time of year.

Happy decorating!!!
