hat, indeed, is this holiday, that we rush
and tear about, decorating trees and mantelpieces,
giving gifts and gathering about the festive board?
What, indeed, is this holiday that we must
deck the halls with boughs of holly and dangle
mistletoe from the chandelier? In the midst of
the trappings and traditions that we have gathered
for generations, what can we say about the
Christmas t " * >
i
Christmas is more than an occasion; it is more
than an anniversary; and much more than a mere
holiday. Christmas is because of CHRIST... be¬
cause He was born, because He is.
“For on this day is born unto the world a Sav¬
iour” ... What more to be said about Christmas
than that we must be reminded that CHRIST
was born, that He is with us, always, the Hope
and the Light, the Promise and the Fulfillment.
Every man must fulfill the meaning of Christ-
■ mas within his own heart Our customs, decora¬
tions, gift giving—everything else associated with
Christmas is imitation, an idle echo, if we do not
recognize and accept that Christmas is with us
because Christ is with us... always.
