The spirit of Christmas is sometimes hard to pin-point. We all have agendas / work to be done etc. It can happen then that Christmas comes upon us like a surprise!Only two weeks to go, and preparations and good resolutions still to be followed through... help!
The simple answer of course is to live in the present moment. Today is special with opportunities to work / to love / to enjoy. What a pity if we found ourselves always preparing for tomorrow, with no time for today.
Therefore, the spirit of Christmas is built on a relationship with God, our Creator. And, to remember the whole meaning of Christmas, where God becomes like a little baby and shares His presence with us.
We can look at the Crib in Church and see how simple and vulnerable Christ became, lying there in a manger, with his mother Mary, and St.Joseph.
This is the image of family-life and so it's good that Christmas is looked upon as a family get-together where people share gifts and good tidings with one another, and celebrate the birth of Christ.
Happy Christmas!
