Why do we rush to Christmas, merging the paper and bows with the advent season? Where are you, Christmas?
A question and song sung beautifully by Faith Hill written for the movie, How the Grinch Stole Christmas in 2000.

Traveling these past few days gave me LOTS of time to think.
- Thinking about the importance of what I do on a daily basis.
- Dreaming about what I should be doing.
- Driving myself crazy for second guessing myself.
- Wondering…
Where are You, Christmas?
With the hustle and bustle, this busy time of year, I can’t help but ponder how we live the Christmas lifestyle of R.U.S.H.- Running uncontrolled shadowing hustle.
Now that hustle as a verb is to force (someone) to move hurriedly or unceremoniously in a specified direction; obtain by forceful action or persuasion.
What happened to the reason for the season; where your heart skips a beat and your eyes are brighter than the stars?
If we stop long enough to smell the crisp, cool air, maybe we will begin to unlock the magic and wonderment of the gift. Not just the perfect present. The most popular gift-on-demand. The heart of gold gift that’s eternal.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Where are You, Christmas?
As I drove up to the house after returning from an extended excursion to move my daughter once again, visit with my son, and meet-up on the road with my daughter’s boyfriend, I couldn’t help but see the beauty in the decorations I labored over for days.
The lights reflective throughout the house. A reminder of God’s unconditional love.
The trees tall and sturdy. A reminder of God’s steadfast grace.
The ornaments adorning the branches. A reminder of God’s overreaching forgiveness.
The reason for the season hasn’t changed. But maybe your heart has.
It’s easy to get caught up in the bows and the paper, the gifts under the tree, the food on the table, the decorations.
What needs to be captivated is your heart!
Stop for a moment. Hit the pause button. No more rushing to get it all done.
- Embrace the value of what this season is showing you.
- Open your heart to the benefits of this glorious season.
- Relish the blessings that only the Son of God can bring.
Christmas isn’t lost. Christmas is within your heart. Fill your heart with love and joy!
