Oh, oh, oh! It's the most wonderful time of the year! As we deck the halls with boughs of holly and sing our favorite carols, I just can't help but wonder about the magic behind Christmas. Why do we celebrate it on December 25th? What does Christmas truly mean to us? And why don't some people celebrate it at all?
Did you know that Christmas wasn't always a widely celebrated holiday? In fact, the World Book Encyclopedia notes that during the 1600s, Christmas was actually outlawed in England and certain parts of America! But over time, the joy and love associated with the birth of Jesus Christ spread far and wide. Today, we celebrate it all around the world with family, friends, and festive cheer.
As John MacArthur so wisely wrote, "Christmas is not about the Savior's infancy; it is about His deity." The birth of Jesus Christ was never meant to be a secret or a hidden truth. It's a celebration of God becoming man, bringing love and hope to all humanity. So let's remember the true spirit of Christmas – a time for generosity, peace, and goodwill towards men!
Now, I know some people might wonder why Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate Christmas. According to their FAQ page, it's because they strive to be generous and peaceful every day of the year, not just one special day. They believe that we should focus on sharing God's love with others all the time, not just during a holiday.
The answer lies in history! Church bishops in Rome decided to celebrate Christmas on December 25th sometime during the fourth century. They wanted to replace the pagan festivals that took place around this time with a celebration of Jesus' birth. And so, December 25th became the date we cherish and honor today.
Oh dear! According to John MacArthur, many people miss the true meaning of Christmas because they simply don't know what it's about. Despite all the festive decorations and holiday promotions, so many of us get caught up in the commercial side of things and forget the real reason we celebrate.
Christmas is a magical time when we come together with loved ones to share love, laughter, and joy. It's an opportunity to spread kindness and generosity to those around us. As Buddy the Elf would say, "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!" So let's keep the spirit of giving, sharing, and loving alive throughout the holiday season!
Oh, what a wonderful time we have ahead of us! As we light our Christmas trees, sing our favorite carols, and spend quality time with family and friends, let's remember the true meaning behind this special day. Let's spread joy, love, and kindness far and wide – just like the magic of Christmas itself!
