It's the beginning of November and I'm seeing blog posts of my favorite bloggers with Christmas titles. At first I was a tad bit frustrated about it because I find Christmas can be a little stressful for me. Then once I got thinking about it, I thought, you know, planning for Jesus birthday should take lots of preparation, kind of like a 50th BIG BASH or a major Anniversary party or something, but EVEN bigger....I mean, seriously, do you know his family! They're Royalty! That should cause me to put my BEST efforts into gear planning for his birthday!
So, oh, I'm going there! I need to talk and plan for Christmas now, so I don't ruin his birthday by stressing out about money or gifts or the stuff that doesn't matter!
My hubby once shared a line with me that he heard once and I do believe it could be applied here. "Proper planning prevents poor performance." Not that I think Christmas is a performance, but I do think it needs proper planning in order for it to be focused and meaningful! (I totally can get caught up in the "expectation" of what it should look like, and I'm a serious procrastinator to boot!)
So, what should a celebration for Jesus look like? What do you do for his birthday? I'd love to hear your comments on this.
