On this wonderful and festive of all holidays, I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. Each family has every unique holiday traditions. Christmas Eve services, that special traditional meal with the family, a special recipe or Christmas cookie, and/or opening presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, just to name a few. These traditions are so important to us, and as we get older they mean even more to us. The people in our lives and these cherished traditions are what’s important not the materialistic holiday of “things” that we often lean toward.

The real meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The Christ child came to us in a manger. He came to the poor and everyone, not just the rich or royalty. And, yes there were gifts, but those original ones were symbols and didn’t put the wise men in debt. On this Christmas Day, I want to thank God for his most precious gift of his son Jesus.
