Christmas. It's such a joyful time of the year. Vibrant lights illuminate the night, people smile as you pass them by, and the air is just filled with overall cheeriness.

As Christians, we should feel the most joy of all. After all, we personally know how Christ's birth has affected us. It gives us a reason to live in these dark times, brings us joy in troubled times, redeems us from sin's punishment, and ultimately united us with God. We should spread that joy, not only in this season, but always. It should be on our faces, in our thoughts, and in our words. This joy that God gave us? It should be infectious! Think of it this way: when was the last time your whole family was sick? Honestly, everyone in my family right now is either recovering or still sick. The first person who got it first spread that sickness pretty fast. And you could tell she was sick by her sagging face, her mumbly words, and her sluggish pace. It was evident she was sick, and it ended up spreading to everyone. Okay...not exactly the same tone as that, but we should be spreading the joy of Christmas like that as well. It should be in our hearts, in our thoughts, influencing our actions and words, and lighting up our lives. We should do it because we want to spread the joy, and because Jesus wants us to do so. Dare to infect the people around you with the joy of Jesus!
