How can I make Christmas focus more on Christ?
Every year it seems the same: I have good intentions of this year being the one that I will focus on Christ in Christmas. And every year it's the same: the mad rush at the end of the month for shopping, the stress of bills after the holiday, the acceleration and speeding by of work - and the suddenly it's here.
Lord, how do I make this last week at least focus on You and the birth of Your son?
1) Put off TV - This is an easy one. I've no need for TV, even to fill the time as background noise (this holds throughout the year as well).
2) Music - Music affects me, so I need to fill my ears with music of the season - as much as possible.
3) The Christmas Story - Read it to the girls every night. Read it to myself every night.
4) Focus on Christ - Do I focus on what the arrival of Christ means? Do I truly consider "God Made Flesh", "Emmanuel - God with us", and and I overwhelmed at the Hope of the Ages?
