God loved us enough to come to earth as a human. To be with us. To prove that He always keeps His promises. To give us eternal life. To have an intimate relationship with us forever. To show us that no matter how dark our world becomes, His Light can never be put out. That's why it's not enough to celebrate His birth only with Christmas lights and decorated trees. We must also celebrate it with His love. For His love lives on forever in those who love Him enough to share it with others. In that way the story never ends.
(From The Miracle of Christmas by Stormie Omartian. A very good book of inspirational stories to read through the Advent season.)

I think Christmas carols should be sung all year long for this very reason! Joy to the world!
I'm still playing my Wow Christmas CD, and loving it! Dad's been out in the garage with Chuck, so I can do that. We haven't taken down our decorations yet, but I'm in no hurry to do so, either. I told Dad I want to leave them up all year, but he said that then it wouldn't be special next Christmas. Of course, he's right!
