With the holidays around the corner, it's easy for some of us to get caught up with all the lights, presents, and songs that we forget the true reason for the season.
While we all love receiving presents and attending wonderful Christmas parties, there's more to the holiday than that.
These distractions, while festive, often keep us from seeing the real beauty of Christmas spirit.
This is something a woman named Amy Basel notices every year. While the commercial side of Christmas is ever-present, in the past few years, it's become overwhelming.
Amy tries her best every year to remind all her friends and family of what Christmas is really about.

Instead of thinking about all the gifts we can buy and all the parties we'll be going to, Amy encourages all of us to ignore all the distractions to really focus on the true meaning of Christmas.
As Amy drove through her neighborhood, something caught her eye at McDonald's. She saw something she couldn't believe!
She took a photo as soon as she saw it, knowing that such a powerful display of the reason for the Christmas season was truly a sight to see.
This McDonald's in particular had a very prominent nativity scene painted on its windows!
Knowing that the McDonald's employees took a huge risk putting the scene on the windows, Amy recognized how incredible this moment was.
In today's world, it is more acceptable to celebrate Santa Claus than Jesus. Too many children are encouraged to pray and wish for presents when they should be praising the Lord.
This is why Amy likes to remind all those around her who they should be celebrating every Christmas. Whether others are too afraid or too indifferent to share the birth of Jesus with the world, most businesses like McDonald's will show a depiction of Santa before they ever have an image of the birth of Jesus.
But this time, things were different. Amy watched in amazement as she discovered that not all people have forgotten about the truth of Christmas.

With a beautiful design of the nativity etched onto their windows, this particular McDonald's got it right.
This powerful nativity scene on the Tennessee McDonald's windows shows the moment that Jesus was born. The let window pane reads "His name is Jesus," while the right panes read "rejoice."
As Amy found this image remarkable, she posted her photo to the Internet. Not soon after, her picture went viral!
With over 136,000 likes and 82,000 shares and counting, it looks like the rest of the world is ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
