Charlie Brown Christmas



I love how simply Linus explains the true meaning of Christmas.  It is all about our Savior.  He was sent here to give us the way back to our Father in Heaven.  There is a song called "I Celebrate the Day", by Relient K, that helps me remember what Christmas is about.  The lyrics are the following: 


The greatest gift we have been given is the Savior.  The greatest gift we can give Him is to "keep yourself unspotted from the world".  I know that as we strive to do this we will feel peace and comfort.  We will be ready to meet Him at any time.

And with this Christmas wish is missed
The point I could convey
If only I could find the words to say
To let You know how much You've touched my life
Because here is where You're finding me
In the exact same place as New Year's eve
And from a lack of my persistency
We're less than half as close as I want to be

And the first time that You opened Your eyes
Did You realize that You would be my Savior
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever
And the first time that You opened Your eyes
Did You realize that You would be my Savior
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever

And so this Christmas I'll compare
The things I felt in prior years
To what this midnight made so clear
That You have come to meet me here

To look back and think that
This baby would one day save me
In the hope that what You did
That you were born so I might live
To look back and think that
This baby would one day save me

And the first time that You opened Your eyes
Did You realize that You would be my Savior
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever
And the first time that You opened Your eyes
Did You realize that You would be my Savior
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever

And I, I celebrate the day
That You were born to die
So I could one day pray for You to save my life
Pray for You to save my life
Pray for You to save my life
