Christmas is my favorite time of the year. The air is crisp and we as believers are reminded what we believe. The true meaning of Christmas the baby lying in the manager. Not all the noise noise noise (to quote my favorite christmas character). During the Christmas season there are two cartoons I wait for and watch. It is not Christmas without Charlie Brown and the Grinch. To me both these shows teach the true meaning of Christmas. Charlie Brown reminds us of the baby lying in the manager, the shepards who watch over their flocks that special night. This story also reminds us to remember the little things, even an ugly tree can be made beautiful when it feels loved. And the Grinch reminds us that Christmas is not about the presents, boxes, bows or even the roast beast. It is about our hearts, how we are to put people and family first, no matter whether toys, boxes, whether individuals recieve what they desired in the way of things. What is important is the fact we celebrate the joy and love Christ brought to us and show us during HIS life. This is why I love these two shows. It also is because Santa is not the focal point of the story but the meaning behind Christmas. So even though Christmas is gone , remember "as long as we have hands to clasp Christmas is always in our grasp. "
