What do we mean when we talk about the "Christmas Spirit" are we talking about decorating trees, giving gifts, mailing Christmas cards, singing carols, or watching Christmas movies, or are we talking about something different? We have so many ideals and traditions we consider to be intrinsic to the Christmas holiday, and we typically regard our performing those traditions as expressing the Christmas spirit, but an examination of how Mary and especially Joseph handled the birth of Christ shows us the epitome of the "Christmas Spirit" is obedience. How and to whom are we being obedient during this holiday season?
