In the midst of the busyness ---- the baking and cooking, the decorating, the entertaining, the merriment and social activities, the shopping and wrapping, and the endless, bottomless "to do" lists, I need to just S.T.O.P.
In those chaotic moments of this lovely season, reflection is imperative.
As difficult as it may be, there is a crying need to just sit, breathe deeply and think about who we are celebrating and why.
Admittedly, sometimes I lose track of the fact that the whole reason behind Christmas is the birth of the sweet and innocent Christ child who came to save the world.
He was the Prince of Peace yesterday, still is today and will be tomorrow.
For Christians, the little Lord Jesus is the reason for the season.
NOTE:
Dear blogger friends and readers:
It's been a very busy weekend.
I just want you to know I'll stop by as soon as time permits.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your visits and
comments.
They mean a lot to me.
You add to the joy of this season and to each day of my life!
Hugs, Susan

Susan thank you for the reminder that Jesus is the reason for the season. Slow down and enjoy.
Susan it is important for us to always remember what this season is really all about! Hugs, Linda
Susan, you couldn't have said it better. It has been a busy week(s) and I should get to posting more recipes soon and catching up with friends. Once my tree is up, I will take a photo of the creche my grandfather made for my grandmother--it's one of my most prized possessions, XOXO
No hurry. No worries :) Peace, comfort and joy - these are the tidings that come with the entrance of the Prince of Peace into our world. Let's not just SAY it and SING it, but LIVE it!
May you have a wonderful day to reflect! :) Kit
I pray that the love, joy, and peace of the Christ child will abide in your heart always! :-)
Susan, the holidays can be exhausting. Take time to rest and enjoy the moment.
Such a beautiful post today, Susan! We all need to be reminded to stop and remember the Reason behind this season.
O Come Let Us Adore Him...stop and listen to the angels sing!
You know so very many times at Christmas I have done the same thing - thanks for reminding us to slow down and remember the real meaning of the season. Love, sandie
Hi Susan,
I like to start my shopping early, so I'm not so rushed in December. This gives me time to actually reflect on and enjoy what really matters.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Nice time today. Loved the peaceful time we spent this afternoon. Lovely thoughts in your message. xoxoxox bb

Hugs,
