I know you feel it. I know because I feel it too. For a couple weeks now, the idea of Christmas has been slowly creeping into your conscience. You’ve seen the Christmas sections already on display at Walmart, Hobby Lobby, and the grocery store. You’ve commented on Facebook about how ridiculous it is that Christmas stuff was out before Halloween!
What is it about Christmas that always makes us feel so good, and why is it we can only have that feeling once a year? Why shouldn’t we feel that way all the time?
You’ve questioned if it’s ok to start your Christmas shopping… You have had a few really good ideas already. But you pushed it down. “No”, you said to yourself, “it’s too early”.
You’ve even thought about watching that first annual Christmas movie, but you keep telling yourself you’ll wait until Thanksgiving, then all bets are off!
Why? Why are we yearning for that Christmas spirit already? Has it really been that tough of a year? All the negativity: Bickering, divisiveness, finger pointing, and anger. All the negative happenings: Mass shootings, natural disasters, and civil unrest… We lost Jerry Lewis, Bill Paxton, Tom Petty, two Allman Brothers, one Batman, and Benson. Yeah, 2017 has been a tough year.
It makes sense that the idea of being together with loved ones and drinking hot chocolate around a fireplace would be appealing. It’s tough to resist the feeling you get when unwrapping a gift specially chosen for you. Or watching their face light up when they unwrap the one you picked out just for them… It’s a good feeling. So is turning on the radio and hearing Bing Crosby crooning out White Christmas as snow falls from the sky.
What is it about Christmas that always makes us feel so good, and why is it we can only have that feeling once a year? Why shouldn’t we feel that way all the time?
Replace the bickering with compassion, all the divisiveness with acceptance, the finger pointing with forgiveness, and all the anger with love. Go out of your way to get someone a small gift here and there – even if it’s just handing someone a dollar on the street. Be the one to reach across the aisle and listen to their concerns. Make time to be together with loved ones. Put your phone down for an hour or two each day and be present. Spend your time doing things that matter with the people who matter most. Let yourself feel. Let yourself laugh. Don’t hold back the things you feel, tell them. This is how we feel that spirit all the time.
Maybe there isn’t any hard evidence of a collective conscience out there. But when so many of us are individually yearning for that Christmas spirit so early this year, you have to wonder if there really is something there. Something we can’t see but all feel… A way we are all connected on a spiritual level that can’t be measured. Like our faith in God, a faith in the good in others. Maybe it’s time we tap into that faith.

Yahshua Messiah was born around the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot)
The men that came and brought gifts to Him were actually of the order of Daniel. Daniel was shown the time when Messiah would come – 490 years – and Daniel instructed the men he taught to bring the gifts and annoint Him as Mashiach (Messiah) at that time.
Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
The constellations appearing to them gave them the confirmation that this was the time that Daniel had told them about and they were very glad!
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
(Mat 2:1-12)

Yahshua is returning to save Israel. He spoke to Israel with everlasting WORDs – Hear o’ Israel – I am one and you shall love YHVH with all your being.
