Home for the Holidays

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:6‭-‬7 KJV

I love that my Bible app is pulling verses from the birth of Jesus. It's what most Christians refer to as the Christmas Story. We know that Jesus was born during the taxing season which is why Joseph and Mary had to travel back to Bethlehem. But over the years we have come to celebrate what was originally a winter harvest celebration as christmas...Christ's birthday.

It's funny but just like Joseph and Mary travelled home, a lot of people go home for the holidays. There's something about this time of year that makes us yearn to be with loved ones and friends. Gifts or no gifts, the true magic of Christmas is in being with those you love.

Merry Christmas.
