Well I know it's politically incorrect to say what I'm about to say but I don't care. In case you don't know it Jesus Christ is the reason for Christmas. It is not about a winter solstice or a winter holiday. It is about the birth of the savior of the world, Jesus Christ. The root word of Christmas is Christ and the word Christmas is always capitalized because it's someone's name. I also believe that the word Christmas should never be abbreviated, especially with the abbreviation XMAS. That X's out Christ and he's the only reason for the season in the first place. If you take Christ out of Christmas you've got nothing in my view.
I grew up knowing the true meaning of Christmas but so many folks today don't seem to have a clue. It is not about giving or receiving gifts although that is a part of it as Jesus was a gift to us from God. It is about giving and receiving love not things. The giving and receiving of things satisfies our pleasures but our true joy comes from giving and receiving love.
If you want more of the real story of Christmas please read from the Holy Bible Luke 2: 1-20. This is truly the greatest true story ever told. If you've never taken the time to read it please do it this Christmas. I hope you find the true meaning of Christmas this year!
Have a blessed day and a Merry Christmas!!
