Preparing for Christmas, Part One

We all had our favorite Christmas movies while growing up. One of mine favorites was, Home Alone.

 The movie opens with 8-year-old Kevin and his family preparing to go to Paris for Christmas. However, Kevin just keeps getting in the way. 

It seems he can’t do anything for himself and he’s afraid of everything. He is a child, after all. But, when he accidentally gets left home alone while the rest his family flies to Paris, Kevin has to learn to face his fears—head on. 

In order to grow up and reach his full potential, he has to give up his attachments to his childish ways. In this sense, Home Alone has hit the nail on the head.
Bottom Line

To reach our full potential, and prepare ourselves for Christ’s nativity, we have to give up our attachments to this world.
