It started in October. Everywhere we looked there were colored lights, red bows, decorated trees, wrapped gifts and festive music. As moms, we feel the pressure to make sure everything is perfect for our family’s Christmas. We take group photos for cards, search for gifts, decorate our homes, bake cookies, all in an effort to make our holiday sparkle.

But that was not how it all began. The first Christmas mom was a poor teen from a backwater town, far from her home and family. She did not have any gifts under her tree, in fact she had no home at all. Indeed, she gave birth to her first born son, wrapped him in cloths and put him to sleep in an animal feeding trough because there was no rooms available in the nearby guest houses. (Luke 2:7)
The mom of this colossal fail was the one whom the magnificent God of the universe chose as His own mom. So relax! Your Christmas prep is going so much better than hers – and the result of hers was fabulous.
In fact, we are still talking about it today.
