To some, it’s a happy time of celebration, gift giving and a family meal. To some it’s a sad and depressing time full of bad memories. To some it’s that Christian holiday that they don’t believe in. To some it’s a commercial holiday with Santa Claus and gift giving.
To me it is what is written in Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
When we celebrate “a child is born” we thank Him for His birth and His gift of salvation. We also celebrate CHRISTmas with a tree, gifts and a special meal but we keep it in perspective with Him as the center. Our gifts are minimal and usually things that we need. We reminisce the Christmas’ past, growing up as a child and celebrating Christmas with our parents and family.
If Christmas is full of bad memories, try just celebrating His birthday, bake Him your favorite cake. Enjoy the gift He gave you (salvation) on His birthday.
What is Christmas to you?
Blessings, David
