Day 1 - Matthew 2:1-15 Many of the songs we sing at Christmas are reminders that Christmastime is supposed to be happy. Songs like "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas," "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire," "Jingle Bells," and "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" all communicate that Christmas time is to be a joyous, trouble-free season. But honestly, is that what you are experiencing this season? Probably not. For some, personal problems keep you from experiencing the joy of the season. For others, one crisis after another has run you over. Others still, are so busy and working so hard that there is no time for sitting around a fire roasting chestnuts. Maybe there is nothing really wrong, but for some reason you are just not at peace. Christmas is not providing the emotional lift that you annually expect. In fact, Christmas is almost depressing. Life doesn’t look like a winter wonderland. It just looks like winter! Disillusionment at Christmas is not an unusual thing. We get so hyped up with expectations about what Christmas is supposed to be, that often the real thing doesn't measure up, and we are disappointed. What do you expect to bring peace…time off? Seasons? Gifts (given and received)? Family chaos? Or perhaps, time with the Prince of Peace! #247daily
