Christmas is a time to celebrate the Lords birth. A time to spend time with your family and friends. I time for fellowship and worship. A time to sing Christmas carols and recognize and appreciate ALL Christ has supplied in your life.
All I want for Christmas is to spend time with my family. I dont care about gifts. Gifts mean nothing. It is a time to celebrate our Lord Jesus Christ's birthday. So many people have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas, so it is time that we start with our children and begin to teach everyone what it is really about.
Start with the children- Teach the children that the pure green color of the fir tree remains green all year around, depicting the everlasting hope of mankind, all the needles point heavenward, making it a symbol of mans thoughts turning toward heaven. Teach the children that the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a Savior for the world, and the star was the sign of fullfilment of His promise. Teach the children that the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world, and when we see this great light we are reminded of He who displaces the darkness. Teach the children that God so loved the world that He gave begotten son. Remember, teach the children the true meaning of Christmas and do not put Santa Clause in the center, for he is but a humble servant of the One that is, and I bow down to worship Him, our Lord, our God.
