I love Christmas. I'm a sucker for Christmas. 

I'll admit I love the Santas and presents and candy canes on the streets. I love snow and festive cheer and the sales, oh the sales. I love how for once a year, everyone remembers to go home, everyone remembers home is where the heart is, and everyone puts aside their vanity, ambition and ego. 

But oh Jesus, what would I do without you. 

To me, Christmas, even if I've strayed for the rest of the year, reminds me of how grateful I am to my Saviour. How broken and ugly I am inside, and how that doesn't even matter at all. How His strength is made perfect in my weakness, how He works all things for good. He's in my life now, and He's got his hold on me. And in Him, I am so blessed, so loved, and so favoured.

So yes, Christmas and its festivities are great. I love 'em. But oh my, Christ is so much greater.
