Celebrating Christmas Eve
It’s Christmas Eve folks! How are you going to spend yours? Me, I’ll just be with my family at home. Christmas has always been a popular holiday for Christians, but oftentimes, the real meaning behind the celebration is forgotten. We prepare our homes for the season, we buy Christmas trees, decorate our windows with Christmas lights, buy gifts and celebrate, mostly because it’s always been a tradition. But do we really celebrate the REAL reason for the holiday? Some of us do, some of us don’t. Christmas is Christ’s birthday. Hence, His name on the holiday itself. And this celebration should be centered around Him, and not so much around the gifts and merry-making. Gifts and celebrating with family and friends are of course important, but we should know and we should keep in our hearts WHY we are celebrating. This is the day Jesus was born to save us from our sins, and this day is His commemoration. As we celebrate Christmas Eve tonight, let’s honor Jesus with all the glory He deserves. Merry Christmas to all!
