Christmas Eve

In recent days there has been a resurgence within the majority of Americans in saying Merry Christmas verses the terms Happy Holidays. There has been a huge effort by many in our society of trying to remove Christ out of Christmas. Most Americans are religious people who still hold to the values of the Bible and now are reacting by being more deliberate in making sure that Christ is part of their Christmas celebrations. This coming Christmas Eve the majority of churches will have a service to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. One way that you will be able to keep Christ a part of Christmas is to go to church on Christmas Eve. Jesus is still the reason for the season.

Christmas

There is often so much to do during the Christmas season. There is the shopping, the Christmas parties and the family functions that can all be enjoyable but they can also distract us if we are not careful. Some distractions are can seem very good on the outside but we must remember why we have a Christmas season in the first place. Jesus, the Son of God, came, born of a virigin, to be the Savior of the world. Jesus is the center of all life and without Him we would not even have life because He is the creator of life. I do not and will not encourage anyone to stop all Christmas activities but I do encourage that we make an effort to put Jesus at the center of all our Christmas activities.
