Preparation

There is a lot or preparation that goes into Christmas. We spend time cleaning the house for the arrival of family and friends, we spend time decorating the tree, wrapping gifts, decorating the houses with lights, singing Christmas carols, cooking food, and shopping. We spend so much time preparing for Christmas that we often miss it. We don't actually miss the holiday but we do miss the meaning. While all of the above mentioned things are fun they are not the meaning of Christmas. Jesus Christ, King of Kings, born of a virgin for all humanity; that's why we celebrate this season. I'm going to be selfish for a moment and say that this season is not about giving it's about receiving. It's about the gift that God gave and has only asked that we receive it. So with all this preparation going into the holiday season how much time do you spend preparing to receive the King.
