We are simple in my house, we have a tree and nativity and some special decorations and if we are feeling really energetic we will put out garland and lights on the gutters.\u00a0 Part of the Christmas feeling is seeing the show of lights.\u00a0 It is so eventful and inviting.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Do people go overboard, definitely! However,\u00a0many people invite you into their lives by saying look at my house, I want you to see, I love Christmas!\u00a0 It makes you wonder are those people lost in the materialistic and secular side of Christmas?\u00a0 Is it all about the lights and the plastic figures and how many they can fit into their crowded little yard?\u00a0 Or is it about saying you believe in Christ at Christmas time?\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know and we are not suppose to judge.\u00a0 If we would judge others about this particular topic then those of us who do not put out decorations in our front yards of any sort would be accused of not believing in Christmas.\u00a0 My family believes but from the outside looking in you might not know that.\u00a0 So we must not judge anyone.\u00a0 Instead just enjoy the beauty or the entertaining value of the displays.\u00a0 Someone worked very hard to say that Christmas is important enough to take the time to set it all up for our pleasure.\u00a0 Take it for what it&#8217;s worth and enjoy it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you been out yet to see the Christmas lights?
