We have Christmas lights and candles because Christ is the light of the
world.
We have Christmas trees because God is the tree of life.
We have Christmas stars because of the special star that shone over
Bethlehem.
We have angels and Christmas carols because a choir of angels announced
the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.
We have presents because the Wise Men came to bring gifts to Christ.
Following in their example came good people of old who gave to others – such as
Good King Wenceslas and St Nicholas, known also as Sinterklaas, who
demonstrated Christ’s love by giving, especially to those less fortunate.
We have love for family and friends because God first loved us and loves
us still.
Christmas – the word means Christ worship.
May God bless you at Christmas.
