Oh ho! Oh ho! It's the Friday before Christmas! School children are unmanageable, but for one day the teachers don't mind. Employees are unmanageable, but the boss growls with just a bit less basso in his voice. If your boss is female and normally growls in a basso profondo, be worried. If Santa growls at you, try to be better next year and use the coal to heat the shop. Christmas time is here! Six days until the great celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior!
To the unbeliever, it would seem that I changed subjects there at the end. Yet, we wonder how they manage to celebrate Christmas without Christ. How does one go about celebrating mas? What is 'mas'? Is it possible to have Mas Day? The anticipation of Christmas Day brings all sorts of warm feelings. How could anyone anticipate 'mas'? Is it mean to mock the unbelievers over the lack of Christ in their Christmas? Maybe, but if even one will ask after the true meaning of Christmas, then like Linus was ready for Charlie Brown's impassioned plea, let us be ready with an answer.
Christ our Lord is the center, the reason, and our hope in Christmas. The child born in Bethlehem began all this celebration. Let us one and all be ready to enjoy it.
Merry Christmas!Bucky
