To contradict myself completely - referring to the title of this post, I actually do not "Wish it could be Christmas every day". But I do think it's a shame that Christmas only happens once per year.
Last night we were involved in our first Carol Service of the year, at the Parish Hall with the Selston Ladies Section - and it was great fun.
I really do enjoy this time of year; the carols, the food, the parties, the extra services and activities, and the additional time spent with family and friends. It just seems a shame that so much of this joy and excitement only comes around every twelve months.
And for many people their annual visit to church for a special service is maybe the only time we think about this special baby in the manger as well.
The beautiful truth is, of course, that this baby became a man who was and still is God. The one who lived and died a human death, to give everyone of us a hope, a life and a future.
Don't wait till Christmas to think about Jesus and don't pack him away with the decorations in January. At the risk of sounding really cheesy - Jesus is for life, not just for Christmas.
Have a great day
God bless
Chris
