As we have now entered the month of December, many are full of thoughts of buying/giving/receiving gifts, spending time with family, and all the good food & times that will be readily available.
Many await the arrival of that jolly old man dressed in red, Santa Clause.
Some will be delighted that many Christmas shows are appearing on tv and Christmas songs are on the radio.
I ask each and every one while enjoying all the above, to take a moment and
REMEMBER THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!
REMEMBER THE REASON FOR THE SEASON ?
Now that depends on who you are asking that question, as I am sure you would get many different answers. My answer :
JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON
The date itself was chosen to coincide with Roman celebrations held at winter solstice.
'Shepherds watch their flock by night" is most commonly done during lambing season. In addition, rabbinical laws forbade sheep near Bethlehem before February. So the most likely day was somewhere between mid-March and mid-April.
Not that it really matters. It's been December 25 for about 1700 years now!
