Last night, the boys and I watched "A Charlie Brown Christmas"
Two things I have observed in this classic.
One,the kids.They miss the whole mark of what Christmas is really about.
They would rather revel and mock Charlie rather than celebrate Christ and show "good will to their fellow man".
Two. Charlie.
Here this young lad,plagued with depression because no one likes him goes on a quest to find the real meaning of Christmas,
He finds it in the form of a pine twig.
His Christmas tree.
He found Christmas in that branch.
He saw Christ.
He saw the real purpose-the whole meaning.
The best thing was his friend Linus finally drove the whole point home.
He took the risk among his friends tell the Story.
And there,it was finally realized what Christmas was truly about.
