What happened to Christ in Christmas?

Last night I took Jeff to work and then picked up Luke from work.  I was noticing all the decorations and the pretty lights.  I kept thinking, something is missing, but what?   When I got home, I did little decorating and I came to my nativity scene and then it hit me.  There are no decorations of Jesus and the manager scene.  I seen Santa, reindeer, snowmen and lots of lights,  but no Jesus.  This really bothered me and then later on I was watching TV,  Mike Huckabee has his own show and he was talking about the recent terrorist attacks in India.  Then he talked about the recent death of a Walmart employee on Black Friday.  A crowd of people were waiting for the doors to open,  when the employee opened the doors about a hundred people came stampeding in the doors and trampled on this man.  In the process, they killed him and hurt four other people, including a women who was eight months pregnant.  I was so appalled.   Where is the good cheer, the love of others, the real reason for the season?  It is not about what is under our tree on Christmas morning, it is about Jesus, our family, our love to one another.  It so saddens me that we are so selfish and there is no concern for other people.  My plan this Christmas is to spread the Love of Jesus to other people.  I also want to find it and see it.  So, this Christmas I am going to be bloging about what I have seen in my community that is so related to my Jesus.  I am putting Christ back into Christmas in my small area of the world.  I hope that you all find this also.  If any of you what to share something awesome or spread this to others, let me know.  I would love to hear from you.  God bless all of you and have a wonderful and Merry Christmas.
