“So don’t let anyone judge you about eating or drinking or about a festival, a
new moon observance, or Sabbaths. These religious practices are only a
shadow of what was coming—the body that cast the shadow is Christ. Don’t
let anyone who wants to practice harsh self-denial and worship angels rob you
of the prize. They go into detail about what they have seen in visions and have
become unjustifiably arrogant by their selfish way of thinking.”
Colossians 2:16-18 CEB

I personally value Christmas time. Yes, Christmas resulted from a recipe of Pagan
and Christian thoughts, but Christmas itself is a time when the MASS celebrates
Christ. It’s a time to be with family and thank Christ for saving us through His
Blood and sacrifice. I know some groups choose not to celebrate Christmas and
that’s fine. However, we should all honor the choices of others.
I like anything that reminds all of us of Christ. Words cannot describe what He
and His Father gave to us. Imagine an unlimited Spirit who has EVERYTHING but
still wants our love and returns it manifold. It really is mind-boggling when one
thinks about the magnitude of what I just said. I remind myself of this fact many
times and remain in complete awe.
God Bless you and Merry Christmas. May you have a wonderful season. For
those who do not celebrate Christmas God Bless you too. Please take this time
to be with loved ones and marvel at the gift Christ gave us starting with His
birth.
