Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone,
If you were asked the question "Christmas Is..."? What answer would you give?
The best answer is given in John chapter 3 verse 16-18.
16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
How do you explain the meaning of Christmas in just a few words? Well the best way I know is this:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

No one could out do what God has done. No one could give a greater gift than God has already given.
Christmas means a lot of things to a lot of different people. To some it is-
-a time of shopping and spending
-a time of drinking and carousing
-a time of traveling and entertaining
But, what is the real meaning of Christmas? What message should it convey to every one of us?

To me, Christmas is...
I will tell you tomorrow. Just remember greater things are still to come!
