What is Christmas ALL about Charlie Brown?
And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you this day is born in the City of Bethlehem, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men'". That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie brown
I've always loved this Christmas show and it's so wonderful that it actually explains what Christmas is about.
What else is Christmas about?
It's about spending time with your loved ones, family and friends.
It is about giving.
It is about celebrating Jesus comin to Earth.
It is about baking treats for everyone :)
I have one last final treat, it's link to a blog that my sister shared to me.
It's neat to take a step back and really think who are you giving your presents to?
Isn't this holiday about celebrating Jesus' birthday?
Think about it :)
Below the link you'll find ONE last recipe that is a favorite of mine and others. It's the easy way out of baking gingerbread cookies without having to cut out all the little gingerbread men/women and still enjoying the taste.
This sweet trip was fun and I made quite a few desserts but now I'm heading off to spend time with family to celebrate Jesus. I hope YOU have the best Christmas ever!!
Happy Birthday Jesus! We love you!!
