What does Christmas mean to you? It appears that the worldly way has  taken over Christmas. The emphasis is on everything secular and not on Jesus Christ. It is sad to see one of the most important gifts given to mankind being replaced by fictitious things that have no value. Jesus Christ came here so that we could spend eternity in a Kingdom of no pain, sadness, lack of love, death, and many more benefits.

I pray that everyone evaluates the precious gift that God gave us and understands the true meaning of Christmas. Jesus loves you and so do I.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

C – stands for Christ. If we leave Him out of Christmas it is like celebrating a wedding without a groom.

H -stands for the Hope He gives us – hope of a life without end. 

R – stands for the Revolution He began: turning hate in to love, war in to peace, and everyone into everyone’s neighbour. 

I – stands for Israel, the land where He was born. But it also stands for me, for Christ could be born a thousand times in Bethlehem, but it would all be in vain unless He is born in me. 

S – stands for the Salvation He brought: those who lived in darkness saw a great light. 

T – stands for Thanks – thanks to the Father for the gift of His Son. The best way to say thanks is to make room for Him in our hearts. 

M -stands for Mary who brought Him to birth. She will help to bring Him to birth in us also.

A -stands for Angels who at His birth sang: “Glory to God in the highest and peace to l-lis people on earth!” – the sweetest music ever heard on earth 

S -stands for the Star that led the wise men to Bethlehem. Now Christ is the star we follow. His is the light that will guide us through the night until the sun of eternal day dawns upon us!
