The Real Meaning of Christmas

I just started a blog about holiday gift shopping. As I was doing that, I realized I couldn't have a blog about gift giving without starting one that focuses on the true meaning of Christmas. Yes, gift giving is fun. Receiving gifts is fun. But it is important to understand why this holiday exists.

Sometimes it makes me feel sad that we've gotten away from what is really important - that we are celebrating Christ's birth.

In the posts to come, look forward to devotionals and other posts on how to keep Christ as the focal point of this holiday season.

I agree, it is sad that we have lost site of the true meaning of Christmas. And we can thank all the politically correctness for that.."Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" just so we do not offend anyone.. I could go on, but would rather say "Thank you" for keeping Christmas alive :-)

Thank you Melissa! I deleted the gift giving blog, and am just focusing on this one. And I agree - political correctness is part of the problem!
