A Lesson From Whoville



If you removed Santa, the trees, and presents from Christmas, what would you have left? Oh Yeah the most important part, the birth of Lord, Jesus Christ, God's Son who was sent to save mankind. That is what I am celebrating this year and every year.

Looking at Christmas from the outside, you share the perspective of another lost soul who once totally misunderstood the meaning of Christmas: Dr Seuss' Grinch.



Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small,
Was singing! Without any presents at all!
He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming!
It came
Somehow or other, it came just the same!


And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,
Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?
It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
It came without packages, boxes or bags!"
And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore.
The the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!
"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store."
"Maybe Christmas...Perhaps...Means a little bit more!"


And it sure does, while we are running around getting ready for the big day, please take the time to think about what Christmas really is about....

Jen I read your point and it reminds me of George's class, the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart.
