What is Christmas to you?
What is Christ
mas to you? Some
would say Christ
mas is the time of
the year when most
of the world com
memorates the birth
of Jesus Christ.
Others would say
Christmas is a time
when families gath
er together for some
hang time and great food.
Still others would say
Christmas is all about pres
ents, stockings and Santa
Claus.
The truth is, for most of
us Christmas is nothing
more than a big deadline!
Everything we believe con
cerning Christmas has to be
done by December 25th -
Christmas Day!
The decorations must be in
order. The cards addressed,
stamped and mailed out.
The gifts much be purchased
for every person. The house
must be perfect for family
and guests. The food must be
prepared for all those hungry
family members and guests.
Whew!
The push begins just before
Halloween and gets hotter and
heavier until Christmas Day.
The radio stations play
Christmas music all the way
to 11:59 p.m. on Christmas
day. Then it’s all over.
All is back to normal for
another 9 and a half
months until the
cycle begins to run
all over again.
Is Christmas just
a deadline to you?
All of this is not
evil in itself, but it
is very distracting.
Distracting? Yes,
from the real mean
ing of Christmas.
During the Christmas sea
son, most of the world (includ
ing most religions) acknowl
edge that Christ came. And
those who are true followers
of Christ understand that not
only did He come, but He
came as Savior of the world.
The most positive aspect
of the Christmas season is
that most of the world is at
least conscious of the fact
that Christ came.
What a great time to pro
mote the real meaning of
Christmas.
The greatest gift of all was
given to you and me by the
Creator of the universe. Let's
share the gift with our fami
lies, friends, guests, and any
one who will listen during
this Christmas season. Let's
thoroughly enjoy the season,
but let's not forget its true
meaning. Merry Christmas!
