Christmas Starts with Christ
The mention of the word Christmas no doubt brings various thoughts to our mind. We all have different things that we like or look forward to at this time of year.
For some it is the giving and receiving of presents, whilst others enjoy sending and receiving cards. Many of us will visit families and friends at this time of year and enjoy the celebrations together. Parents will go and see their children taking part in a nativity play and maybe take them to visit Father Christmas. Then there is carol singing and maybe attending either midnight mass or a church service on Christmas Day.
All of the things mentioned above are fine and enjoyable too. However if our Christmas celebrations only consist of these activities then we are missing out on the true meaning of Christmas.
You may have seen the poster below in the run up to Christmas. To me this sums up perfectly what this time of year is all about. However we dress it up Christmas starts with Christ. If we remember this we will surely be able to truly celebrate Christmas this year.
