WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME BY BRIAN LUKE LEEMAN

To some of you Christmas might  mean to you  getting gifts, spending time with family and friends , or watching your favorite Christmas movies or TV special's .

But to some of us it the day we celebrate  the birth of our savior Jesus Christ .

Now you might not know but Jesus was not born Christmas  .

The reason we do celebrate  Jesus's Birthday on Christmas day because  pagans  have there holiday on this day and the early Christians wanted  combat his evil feast/holiday.  So they chose the 25th  to celebrate Jesus birthday .  Jesus's  was most likely born in april . heres good article on this subject http://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/biblical-topics/new-testament/how-december-25-became-christmas/

But to the topic , i want share with you  what Christmas means to me .

Christmas to me means spending time with the people you love ,  showing kindness to those are in need , and the   most improtant  , Celebrating My savior's birth.

Here's a thought , why not do this all year around ?

Basically , This  is the way we should be living , Showing kindness to others  , spending time time with our love ones , and  celebrating Jesus .

 

My challenge to  you for this Christmas is to more of the giver then the receiver and show the love Christ
