Happy Birthday Jesus Photo Greeting Card

Except for a very small percentage of people (and Happy Birthday to you if you are one of them), Christmas Day is not YOUR birthday. We celebrate it with presents, decorations, music, gatherings and all manner of festivities. The party can go on for days. The "season" starts earlier and earlier each year it seems. The preparations can seem endless. We make travel or entertaining plans. We shop. We wrap. We package and send. We send greetings. Christmas drives our economy. We look forward to reconnecting with family and friends. Kids are off of school. We have vacations days off of work. We do things in this season that we don't do at any other times. We bake things and cook things that we only make this time of year. We watch special movies and TV shows and listen to special music. The humdrum routine we fall into the rest of the year is swept away.

With all of that going on it can be very hard to remember that it's not about us.

How do you keep the focus on our Lord and Savior this time of year?  Please leave comments on this post and tell me how you do it at your house.  Do you read the Christmas story from Luke? Attend a candlelight Christmas Eve service? Go caroling? Volunteer at a homeless shelter? Make a Birthday cake for Jesus and sing Happy Birthday? Have a special nativity scene you set out? Do you light an advent wreath? What do you do?
