Voila!

There it is! I finished it! I hope you like it!

Well, since its Christmas Eve, I feel obligated to tell you what Christmas is REALLY about!
I knon, I know, you've probably heard this millions of times, but have you ever actually read or listened to it?

Christmas is a holiday about gifts. Not the kind of gift you get under your tree, wrapped in flashy paper, and waiting to be opened; but the kind of gift you find in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and waiting to save the world.


Christmas is a Birthday party. Not just any birthday party, but the birthday party of a king, Jesus Christ.

Christmas is a time for singing. not songs like Jolly ol Saint Nicolas, or Jingle Bells, sure you can siong them, and they're fun to sing; but don't forget the songs that are sung to worship the king, like Oh Come all Ye Faithful, and Angels we have heard on High.

Christmas is a time for someone, but not for you. Christmas isn't about what you can get or how much fun you can have, but what you can do for others, and what you can do for Christ.

This, is Christmas:
¹In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. ²(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) ³And everyone went to his own town to register.

⁴So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. ⁵He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. ⁶While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, ⁷and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

The Shepherds and the Angels

⁸And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. ⁹An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. ¹⁰But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. ¹¹Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ^[a] the Lord. ¹²This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

¹³Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
¹⁴"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

¹⁵When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."

¹⁶So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. ¹⁷When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, ¹⁸and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. ¹⁹But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. ²⁰The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
