Mardi Gras: Christmas Shopping

Christmas Shopping at Belk

I am someone who can multitask and usually come out making things look easy, but it is not always that way. I like to shop, but only when done leisurely. Christmas shopping is all hustle and bustle. I was shopping, scheduling dinner, writing my list and checking it twice.

I love the celebration of Christmas, and it's meaning to me as a Christian, far more than the tinsel and packages and ribbons. My heart and eyes will always be on the true reason of the season - Jesus Christ.

“And there were in the same country Shepards abiding in

the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the

angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone

round about them, and they were sore afraid. And the angel said

unto them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you tidings of great

joy which will be to all people. For unto you is born this day in

the city of David a savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this

shall be a sign unto you. Ye shall find the babe wrapped in

swaddling clothes lying in the manger." And suddenly, there was

with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and

saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good

will toward men."
