What is Christmas day? Is it a time to spend with family and friends? Is it a time to feast, or is Christmas day a morning to find what’s under the tree?
What is Christmas day? It is a:
- Day of Christ: Christmas is a day of Christ, it’s a day to let Jesus be Lord in our hearts, our homes, and our habits; Christmas is a day of Christ. Remember, Jesus is the reason for the season! What is Christmas; it’s a day of Christ being Lord in our hearts, our homes, and our habits!
- Day of Charity: Christmas is not only a day of Christ, it’s a day of charity, toward our family, toward our friends, and toward those less fortunate. Remember the words of Christ in Acts 20:35, “It is more blessed to give than to receive”. What are you giving this Christmas? Remember the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 9:7: “for God loves a cheerful giver.” You might say, well, they never get me anything, be a bigger person, and give something anyway! What is Christmas; it’s a day of charity toward our family, toward our friends, and toward those less fortunate!
- Day of Creating Good Memories: This may not be a perfect Christmas, but Christmas never is; it’s still a time when everyone is dealing with unemployment, or unexplainable events, or uncertainty about the future, but don’t let these thing’s stop you from creating good memories, around the tree, around the table, and around the telephone as you call those who may be too far away, create good memories and have a Merry Christmas! What is Christmas; it’s a day of creating good memories!
Conclusion: What is Christmas; it should be everyday, a day of Christ, a day of charity, and a day of creating good memories, Merry Christmas!
