CHRISTMAS CAKE FOR BREAKFAST … !?

‘If you want cake for breakfast, have it!

’

I read this week. Apparently during these difficult times, diets should be put on furlough. That was a great comfort to me because after December 25th, I usually have Christmas cake for breakfast until it’s all gone. I’m assuming that we will still enjoy Christmas cake this Advent season although, as I write this, we are not sure what else?

Each of us have different constituent elements which, for us, make up Christmas. I wonder what yours are?

And how many of those different things do you have to lose before it’s no longer Christmas ….?

For me, as a Christian

, ‘Xmas’

is no longer Christmas. When Christ has been taken out of the season, it becomes just another holiday rather than the time when we celebrate the birth of God’s son in Bethlehem. I remember reading one comment on social media, ‘They’re even trying to bring religion into Christmas now!’ it said. I’m very happy to leave religion out of Christmas but not Christ- after all, it is his birthday. In fact, I wouldn’t want to leave Christ out of any season of life because He promises to bring –

Peace

: that’s what the angels who sang at his birth said.

Joy

: that’s what the shepherds who visited the stable were promised.

Love

: love is what God is – “

God is love

”.

So, when I have Christ in my Christmas – and in every other season of life – I have peace, joy and love. And it’s divine peace, joy and love. That article I referred to earlier, which said,

‘If you want cake for breakfast, have it!’

also suggested making a fried egg sandwich dripping with HP sauce at 10pm if it brings you comfort during these difficult times. May I suggest you could also try putting Christ into your Christmas? He brings peace, joy and love and we all need those right now!
