I have a little Christmas decoration in my apartment that reads:  This is the spirit of Christmas…where the simple becomes sacred. So true.  When you really think about the Christmas story it is hard to not get consumed by emotion.  A tiny little baby. Grows into a man. Dies for imperfect people. Because of LOVE. 

Reminder to self: never forget what Christmas is all about. It isn’t about the gifts or the food, but so much more.
