What makes Christmas spirit?
Everyone waits for that one time of year that is exciteing enough for people to sing, laugh, give and praise and that time is Christmas. The day after Thanksgiving is one of the busyest shoping days of the year. It means christmas is coming but christmas spirit shouldn't be just about the presents and the candy. Christmas is about giving to others, the love, family, being together and above all else, celibrateing Christ's birthday. People have the tendancy to stress about the money and the presents and how they are going to get by this year. When what they should be worring about is how they are going to make this a memorible Christmas for years to come, because those are the ones people remember the most and cherish the most for the rest of their lives.
Christmas is about giving to other people, and as much as people might want to believe it is the other way around, it's not. People would feel better about them selves and really find the meaning of Christmas if they learned to give. Some people say that they are happy when they get their presents and they probably are, but true happiness is found when you give. Instead of pleasing your self you are pleasing others, and you feel excited. You can't help but feel excited when you do somthing nice for some one it is just an instinct. It makes the spirit stonger and brighter when you do so.

Christmas is meant to be enjoyed, but while being enjoyed, it also needs the reason of why it is Christmas. Christ was born for the redemption of the world and so it must ALWAYS be remembered. We must live like Christ and think of the many things he did for us in his time to really be greatful for who he really was. By doing all the is in our power to follow his example, love one another, and remember the real meaning of Christmas, and to do so is to remember the man behind it.

The feeling every one gets around Christmas time for what ever reason is, happiness and joy. Every one has their own reason for being greatful and happy around the holidays, what you and what I choose, is how to be greatful and happy. The choice is ours. Every one is intitled to have there own meaning of christmas, and so we choose........
