The Reason For the Season

Christmas Day is a very joyous holiday. I was watching CNN last night and they are celebrating Christmas in Turkey and other Islamic countries, and some people in Israel. The people they interview said they celebrate Christmas because it is a positive and beautiful holiday. They have Christmas trees, Santa Claus, decorations, and presents. It is all about spending time with loved ones and family. The merchants said it was also good for business to celebrate Christmas.

But we must remember that we celebrate Christmas because of the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We should remember He loved us so much He came to earth to show us how to live and then He died for our sins to save us. Teach your children the reason for the season and tell them it's about love and sharing, not about just receiving presents.

Have a very Merry Christmas and please remember "The Reason For The Season"!
