Everybody has a different way of looking at Christmas and what it should be all about. But for most of us, Christmas is a chance to be with friends and family, share good food, and exchange gifts.
However, in the consumption-driven society we live in today, many people tend to focus on the material aspect of Christmas. The gifts. The outfits. The decorations. The Christmas tree. The food. Sure, these are all elements that most of us naturally associate with the holiday, but it’s important that we don’t overlook the spiritual aspect of it.
Although it’s meaning is often lost in this world, Christmas is primarily a religious holiday that should be all about love and exchanging gifts that don’t come with a price tag. Those are the presents we should cherish the most because those are the ones that really make a difference in our lives and the lives of those we love.
Darius Rucker is one of those people who believe that Christmas shouldn’t be about who gets the most expensive gift or who has the best Christmas decoration – but that is should bear a more meaningful message.
And he decided to share his belief with the rest of the world in a way that he knew would reach people’s hearths; through music.
The result is a beautiful song entitled “What God Wants for Christmas”. This is an important message that everybody needs to hear, so make sure to share this with all the important people in your life.
