Do you celebrate Christmas or Xmas?
Oh, yes, they are two very different things.
Xmas, although beautiful and memorable, is a social experience. It’s a gift-giving, cookie-baking, photo-taking season repeated year after year because of its feel-good/traditional/income-generating value.
Don’t believe me?
Look at Christmas. The added elements are the worship of the baby in the manger (who grows up to become the Savior of world); reflections on visits to him by angels, wise men, and shepherds; the revelation (and significance of) the virgin birth; candlelight church services, including the singing of hymns and reading of Holy Scriptures.
I invite you to experience the blessings that celebrating Christmas in its fullness will bring this year!
