So, Christmas is coming. We've got up all the decorations, my brother and I have had our once a year Christmas outing, and I've actually managed to get about all the Christmas shopping I plan on doing under my belt (now I just have to wrap everything and get it all under the tree). And, we've already had some snow, which has definitely helped get me in the mood of things.
On that last note, I thought I'd post something Christmasy that I've always liked. I can't remember if I've posted this before, but if I have, so what. I hope you all will like it. It's the Christmas story episode of the Andy Griffith Show. This has always been a favorite of mine around Christmastime and it has perhaps my favorite version of "Away in a Manger" in it.
I love how they kind of parody Scrooge a little bit in the character of Ben. Such a feel good classic. And I'm glad that there was a time when even on television an extremely popular show was willing to recognize Christ at Christmastime (if only more would do that today!). He is, afterall, the reason for the season.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
