Christmas Holiday Thoughts

The biggest Christmas Holiday Thought that comes to my mind was when my wife and I were watching the movie, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". The scene was the Grinch at the top of the mountain that overlooked the little town of Whoville, where all the Whos were fast asleep on Christmas Eve. We hear a lot of stories and thoughts about Christmas at this time of year, but this one is my favorite.

What the Grinch did, was go down into the little town of Whoville on Christmas Eve and steal all the toys, trees, tinsel, and anything that was associated with Christmas. He took all the food, pudding, and even the roast beast. He packed it all in his sleigh and made his little dog pull it back up to the top of the mountain, where the Grinch lived in exile from the town of Whoville. Then he waited to hear what he thought would be the sound of crying, moaning, and sadness in the air, because he thought he was going to steal Christmas that year.

What took place was the greatest Christmas miracle of all. As the snow was falling all around, the Grinch was waiting and listening in silence for that sadness sound. What he heard instead was laughter and singing. The Grinch thought and scratched his head, " why I didn't steal Christmas, he said. Christmas is not in things like trees, toys, tinsel and food. It's in the hearts of all those Whos."

Than the miracle came. The Grinch's heart grew three sizes that day. He raced back down the mountain and put all the things back in their place, and the Whos selected him as the person to carve the roast beast.

The moral to the story is, of all the Christmas poems and thoughts, Christmas comes from the heart. It is something that is on the inside that needs to come out. Why is it that, only at the Christmas season, do you hear of good things that people do to help others that are less fortunate then they are? Christmas is in the heart of all of us. Why don't you let it come out this year. Don't get caught up in the trap of trying to buy Christmas with things that you don't have money for. Owe no man nothing except to give from the heart the true meaning of Christmas. Discover what the Grinch found out that Christmas Eve a long time ago.
