Its Christmas Day

While up till now I haven't really celebrated Christmas before, I was always aware of the story by story I mean the culture that comes along with this holidays, stores make stuff really cheap, so parents can buy their kids stuff and put it under the tree. The kids come down and are told that these gifts are from Santa, all the movies about santa and his slay and his reindeer have been what this holiday has become. But the really reason to celebrate this day is because it is the birth of Jesus Christ, Lord and Saviour to all man kind!!! How cool is that?!?!?! God gave us the greatest gift on this day, better then the most expensive clothes, the sweetest car or the fastest computer, but a give that can give u salvation!! As people we forget or maybe are just that unaware of how much God loves us. We want to live for ourselves and we try to satisfy ourselves on this earth. We feel like we need these grand gifts to really be happy and it saddens God He LOVES US SO MUCH!! This is why he came in human form and was born a baby to the virgin Mary so that he could fulfill the prophecy and save us from our sin, save us from an eternity away from him. This is what this holiday is really about, and the presents, and the christmas tree, the food its great it is but the purpose of this holiday is to reflect on the gift God gave his children, Jesus Christ.
