b'I am always at home over Christmas, celebrating at the Palau Association Christmas party, attending events at my church, and enjoying my family. But it\\u2019s amazing how quickly \\u201cstaying home for the holidays\\u201d can turn into \\u201cI\\u2019m never home during the holidays.\\u201d Christmas parties and church events start to multiply, as do Christmas programs, concerts, and open houses. Add to those wonderful things the baking, shopping, and planning holidays always seem to require, and \\u201cthe most wonderful time of the year\\u201d quickly becomes \\u201cthe busiest time of the year.\\u201d Christmas brings all sorts of wonderful opportunities to reconnect and enjoy our communities, but we can so easily get too busy celebrating Christmas that we forget the Christ we are celebrating. We get so busy planning the perfect Christmas that we neglect to read the Bible and learn more about the reason for the season. We get so busy running from here to there that we start missing church. Christmas is a beautiful time of the year, but we cannot neglect to remember the real reason for the season. We celebrate Christmas because \\u201cunto us a child was born, unto us a son was given!\\u201d Imagine! The Son of God chose to become a man so He could rescue us all if only we believe in Him and repent of our sins. What a blessing! What a joy! What a message that needs to be spread far and wide to everyone we know! This is Luis Palau.'
