We are another week closer to Christmas. It’s such an
exciting time of year. All morning I’ve been emailing back and forth with my
parents and siblings about the Christmas plans since my brother and I live out
of state. It’s an exciting time to see family and friends.
I remember a few years ago, I was in Jinja, Uganda spending
Christmas alone in a hotel room. My luggage wasn’t able to make the trip
apparently and all I wanted was to be home. That Christmas changed my outlook
on the holiday and being with family.
But this time of year means different things to different
people. Religious or not, it’s a time to be cherished with loved ones. But what
about those that have lost loved ones? Those spending the holidays in need or
alone? It can be tough.
This week’s Music Monday post is “It’s Christmas, I Love You”
by Daniel Ellsworth and Alva Leigh (Music City Unsigned Family Christmas).
“…those who got time,
well they’ve got time to lose. I’m sorry I’m not leaving here without you. Love,
take your hands out from your winter coat and wrap them around me like we used
to know. It’s that time of year, starting again. It’s Christmas, I love you. Please
let me back in.”
The holidays are often a time for reflection. As we inch
ever closer to the new year…we will all take a look back on the time that has
seemingly passed us by. Are you where you wanted to be today, a year ago? This
song speaks to me on that level in several ways.
So I leave you with this..
It’s Christmas, I
love you. Please let me back in
