I just have a quick story to tell you that pretty much made my day. At work, we do this activity called Bible Time, where all of the classrooms come together for a half hour to learn and sing songs about Jesus. The theme today was what Jesus has to do with Christmas, and one of the questions was "What do presents have to do with Jesus?" A 4-year old raised his hand immediately and said "Because Jesus was our first present." I was amazed not only at his answer, but the fact that he has the meaning of Christmas spot on. Jesus is the reason why we celebrate Christmas. The 4-year old was right; Jesus was our first gift. We give gifts to honor what Jesus brought to this world, as well as to remember his sacrifice for us. Because of Jesus, we are free of all sin. Remember the Christmas story in the Bible? That bright star in the sky above the stable?
That's there to remind us why we are so in love with Jesus Christ, and why He loves us back just as much. This is why Christmas is my favorite holiday :)
Keep the Christ in CHRISTmas forever. Merry Christmas!
Love, Sarah Allison
