Christmas is not necessarily the day Jesus was born. It is not known exactly why the day was chosen, some say to coincide with a pagan holiday, others because it was nine months after the supposed inception. More importantly, however, it’s a time set aside to celebrate who Jesus is, what he did, and the lessons he taught us.

I was handing out pamphlets in the mall yesterday and was surprised by the sad and grumpy faces passing through the doors. What happened to, ‘tis the season?’ We’re so busy rushing around that we don’t take the time to enjoy life anymore.

December is the best time of year for South African’s, the best weather, long holidays, and the freedom to do whatever. So where’s the ‘Christmas Spirit?’

This year let’s love and forgive each other, let’s smile more, laugh more, let’s go out of our way to help others and let’s appreciate our family and friends. Much love Srizzilers, Merry Christmas.
