Merry Christmas Folks

Tis the season to be jelly, or is it jolly? I have noticed the theme this Christmas , if my Christmas cards are anything to go by , is 'Penguins'. Now to be fair I am very fond of Penguins (although I couldn't eat a whole one) but what on earth have Penguins got to do with Christmas. Okay , they live in the snow and ice generally ,but they can only be found in the southern hemisphere which, even as the crow flies, is thousands of miles away from the north pole. In reality what i am trying to say is "Whatever happened to CHRISTmas cards"? The pictures of the nativity, JESUS in Bethlehem, the shepherds, the Magi following the star. ( Although the magi probably came over a year after the birth ) This is what Christmas is about but it seems that the world in general is taking the CHRIST out of Christmas. May I suggest to you if you are a follower of the MASTER that you make every effort to keep the reason for the season in your Christmas. When you send your Christmas cards, make sure they are CHRISTMAS cards, no little robins on the gatepost, no snowy village scenes (when did it last snow at christmas) NO PENGUINS ! Send a card with the message of our Saviours birth, the world needs to know why He came and what he offers. Be a storykeeper , just like my two young lion cubs. Oh yes...Merry Christmas :-)
