Skip Christmas- No way!

Christmas is the greatest time ever and we all should be so thankful that Christmas even exists. The real reason for Christmas is not the gifts, shopping, and parties etc. The true reason is Jesus, love, relationships, and a time to celebrate. You say you have nothing to celebrate and want to skip Christmas. I shudder to think what would have happen had Jesus decided to skip it. The world would not have a Savior. We would be lost and without any hope at all.

The world has taken on a wrong view of Christmas. Christmas is a time for giving, but not about shopping for a gift to give. How about giving a gift of time or a kind word instead? How about if this Christmas you stopped for a moment and maybe called an old friend or write some letters. Make some new memories with your family. I challenge you to do something different this Christmas.

I encourage you to look at Christmas different. I have seen and heard comments like let's just skip Christmas or I am depressed. Yes, times can be hard but look for the good. It is easy to focus on the negative, but what about the positive? A positive is John 3:16-the greatest Christmas gift ever. God sent his one and only son to save the world,....and that is YOU! Jesus gave the ultimate gift of His life so that you could have love, peace, and joy. Are you celebrating Jesus this Christmas? If you have never received Christ in your heart, then YES, Christmas is a problem for you . You have never received the best gift ever. You don't know the real meaning or the love it brings. Maybe this Christmas is your time to truly do something different for yourself. Give yourself a present, get a heart change.

This Christmas receive the gift of Jesus. It is a priceless gift that lasts forever, brings you great peace and joy that is all for YOU!!! What a great gift! I promise when you receive the gift of Jesus you'll never see Christmas the same again.

Merry Christmas!
