the reason we celebrate Christmas

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: For he shall save his people from their sins.
Matthew 1:21

we are here to celebrate to life and death of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was amazing thing, which was the birth of Christ, but what was more amazing was what he had come to do. He came to save us all. God said in this verse "his people" he's children his creation. God came to this earth to pull his handy work out of the gutter and into his glory. So as you celebrate this season how ever you do, just remember why it is call the season of giving because Christ gave us some that we can never return for store credit. He gave us his love and his life so that we can live forever in heaven with him.
