It is #BeautifulSunday and #SublimeSunday once again. And it is the week before Christmas!
Are you done with you Christmas shopping? I did mine a while back.

Christmas is most enjoyable when it isn't focused on presents, festivals, or other trinkets but rather on the gift of love to the world. The core of Christmas is love, peace, and joy. Spending quality time with your loved ones, cherishing and appreciating the love you share are the greatest ways to celebrate Christmas. Sadly, amidst all the holiday chaos, love can get lost. The Christmas dinner and parties, the constant shopping, the decorations and gifts, and other festivities can sometimes mask it.

It would be wonderful if we could make time for love on Christmas. Enjoy the holiday decorations, delicious food, and gift-giving, but don't allow them obscure or divert our attention from the best and most significant aspect of Christmas—the only thing that will endure forever.

Thinking about God's love for us inspires us to love others, to live in peace, and to look out for our neighbor. When we are filled with this love, we will always be willing to lend a helping hand to those in need, to soothe the weak, and to support others.

In today's world, it is simple to become distracted by the tasty food, sweet beverages, beautiful music and dances, and attractive friends and family members we will encounter during this festive season and forget the genuine meaning of Christmas. Let's be human and kind enough throughout the holiday season to think of and offer some love to the motherless infants, defenseless orphans, hospital patients, inmates, beggars, and everyone else who is not able to take part in the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
