Dear Parents,
As the Christmas holidays draw upon us, it is easy to become distracted by the presents…well it is for me anyway! It is easy to go through the routine of announcing a simple “Merry Christmas” without pondering the reason behind Christmas. I love the Christmas lights, decorating the Christmas tree, eating Australian Christmas cake and plum pudding, watching my kids (or kid) enthusiastically open the daily Advent calendar, shopping for gifts, planning kind gestures for others, experiencing joy from generosity, enjoying meals together as a family, and so much more.
Christmas is FUN and my favorite time of the year, but there is more to this JOY than what appears on the surface. If we just dig a little deeper into the reason for Christmas, we are reminded that…
• Christmas is a beautiful time of the year when we remember the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.
• Christmas is the story of God becoming man. It is the story of God’s great love for you and for me.
• Christmas is a time we give gifts to each other to celebrate God’s gift of Jesus to the whole world.
• Christmas is good news of great joy because Jesus came to shed his blood on a cross. Through Jesus we have eternal life. This is the great hope of Christmas
