Christmas-A Promise To Keep

Christmas was always special growing up-wonderful family times and precious memories.  Amidst the commercialization and busyness of the holidays, my parents made great attempts to instill why we celebrate Christmas and the importance of keeping Christ not only in the holiday, but our daily lives as well.  I love and cherish Christmas music.  One of my favorite groups is the Trans Siberian Orchestra (TSO), especially their Christmas music.  One song in particular is called 'Promises To Keep'.......some of the lyrics include:
 

Christmas time and the year will soon be leaving
Cloaked in time till it's just a memory
Christmas stays if we don't forget its meaning
Days go quickly by, years they multiply
We go searching for thee

And my dream is still alive
From that first December morning
And it always will survive as long as we can see
That the dreams that we find in life
Are the dreams we tend to seek
And Christmas has its promises to keep

We have so many precious promises from our Creator, the Christmas story fulfilled a prophesy-the promise of a Savior.  We all have access to this-the most precious gift of all.  This song reminds me of the following:   time flees quickly; the Spirit of Christmas stays if we do not forget;  to seek Jesus,  the Promise of Christmas (Jesus)-is alive/and will survive;  what am I seeking; and yes, Christmas certainly has it's promises to keep.   I hope we all truly seek and find the wonderful promises of our God.  Blessings in your pursuit.......TO
