I hate to admit it, but I'm a little bit of a Grinch. It's a rule in my house that my mom isn't allowed to play Christmas music of any kind until after Thanksgiving. Usually she pushes it and starts playing Amy Grant's Christmas album the second we leave from Thanksgiving dinner. This year, I was blessed to have a roommate that loves Christmas. At first, I was annoyed with the constant Christmas music and references since September, but I soon learned why she loves Christmas so much. For years I have been caught up in the worldly idea of Christmas. The presents and Christmas candy and decorating. What I was missing was the true spirit of Christmas. I came to see where the real excitement of Christmas comes from. It isn't the tinsel and wrapping paper that make Christmas a holiday. It is the celebration of Christ and the time spent with people that we love that makes Christmas such a wonderful time. Why wouldn't anyone want that? In the end, even the Grinch grows to love Christmas and the feeling that comes with it. After watching the Church's new video,"He Is The Gift," is when this realization finally hit me. So now, I'd like to share it with you.
