Why are we so busy at Christmas time?

Tis the season of hustle and bustle, calendars full of activities, shopping to be done, preparations to be made, trees, wreaths and garland to be decorated and hung. All the while we complain about the "commercialization" of Christmas. It used to bug me that some of those who complained the loudest about this distortion of the Christmas season were the least likely to engage in any spiritual reflection, attend any special worship services, or change their own behavior in any meaningful way. We must love to find something to complain about.

What are the best ways to commemorate Christmas? My suggestion includes worship, reflection, and thanks giving prayer, as well as a gift or gifts to the less fortunate and to some missions cause. I hope to do my share of these this season. "God bless us, everyone."
