The "Million Dollar Quartet" is the name given to recordings made on Tuesday December 4, 1956 in the Sun Record Studios in Memphis. The recordings were of an impromptu jam session among music greats Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash. It was arguably the first super-group in the history of American Music.
When the tracks were released, Cash's distinct voice is absent from the recordings. Music historians feel that Cash had come by the Sun Studios to collect on money owed him and that after receiving it; he left to go shopping for the upcoming Christmas holiday. Sadly, it is that way with many of us today. We spend so much time cleaning, cooking, shopping, and preparing for the arrival of Christmas, that when the day finally arrives we are too tired or distracted to enjoy the moment. Jesus, himself, once told Mary and Martha that they should spend time with Him rather than the things of this world that would always be here.
So during this Christmas season take a moment away from wrapping gifts, sit down with a refreshing cup of hot chocolate, pick up the Bible and reconnect with the source of the holiday. The packages will still be there when you return, I promise.
