Christmas?

I found the below statement in one of this months Our Daily Bread and it really fits for today's meaning of Christmas.

Many people today make the mistake when they hear the word Christmas. They don't think of Jesus and His miraculous birth. Instead, they think of family gatherings, festive meals, decorations, and gifts. To them, Christmas brings nostalgia and memories of childhood.

Now, all this celebration isn't wrong. But if that's all that Christmas means to us, we are missing its true significance. The real meaning of this special day is summed up in the words of the angel to the shepherds on that night long ago: "I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord" (Luke 2:10-11).

Christmas surely should not be good if you don't know Jesus Christ as your hope.

Don't celebrate Christmas without inviting the Guest of honor.
