2 Days 'til Christmas
The Escape to Egypt
(Matthew 2:7-18) Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him."
After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him." So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my son."
When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
"A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more." (NIV)

“Christmas now surrounds us,
Happiness is everywhere
Our hands are busy with many tasks
As carols fill the air.”

8 Days 'til Christmas
People who are thankful for the things in their lives aren't living an easier life than you. Learning to live your life as if everything were a miracle, and being aware on a continuous basis of how much you’ve been given.

I think it’s perfect that this season begins with such a holiday because it kicks off that emotional feeling and awareness of what you have around you.

Counting down to Christmas
Well, I tried counting down to Christmas using my fingers and toes,
but I don't have 13 of them -- then I'd be REALLY grumpy!
You want to know how many hours and minutes until Christmas 2015? That's easy! Too many! I don't know if I want to tell you it's 304 hours until Christmas because then you'd be a grumpy elf like me!
