This is who I will be thinking about this Christmas.

I can not think of a better way to remember the teachings of Jesus.

Definitely. Though Jesus was most likely not born on December 25th (December 25th is the birthday of some kind of Egyptian "god", and I have no idea how it became Christmas), I'll celebrate Christ's birth then anyway. This year, I have more reason to than ever, because it'll be my first Christmas as a believer, and it has a lot more meaning to me now. It's not just about presents and family and friends anymore. Now, it's about the GREATEST gift of all...and family and friends. :)

I will. Christ is what I remember every day of my life -- not just during one season or on one day out of the year. Christmas is a time I remember how Christ came into the world, but I cannot simply live him in the state of being a child. My Messiah came into the world as a baby, fought evil and won, and took on the pain and sins of the world and defeated death through the cross. Now, he reigns as the King of all Kings. My Christ is the King. That is how I remember him.

I remember Christ every minute of every day. such is love. :)
My kids are 18, 16 and 14 now, and they still get up Christmas morning and we all read the Christmas story from a well worn pop up book and pray before we open presents. It's a tradition that I hope they will carry on with their own families some day.
Merry Christmas Semper...
blessings :)

Definitely.
In my ex wife's family we could go through an entire Christmas season without even mentioning Christ. Now in my new family we spend a lot of time remembering the reason for the season.

I agree with Wink Winkleman. Jesus said to celebrate his death not his birth. Jesus died on Nisan 14 and was 33 1/2 years old. count six months forward and you get Oct. the shepards where out in the field and this time of the year is the cold and rainy season so the shepards would never be out. question. if you say it is Jesus Christ birthday, what does he get. nothing. ask kids what is xmas all about and they say presents nothing about Jesus Christ. it is a pagan holiday I call it the buy me, I want and I need holiday. nothing to do with Jesus

Yes, but most Christians don't realize that Christ was conceived on Dec. 25 but was actually born on Sept 29, You can prove this in the Bible from John the Baptist being six months in his mothers womb when Mary the mother of Jesus went to see Elizabeth when Mary was first day with child and the baby John lept in his mothers womb because the Holy Spirit was in Marys womb

I remember Christ and his sacrifice every day. I don't require a pagan, false religious celebration like Christmas in order to remember my redeemer and the now-reigning king of God's heavenly kingdom.

Nope. I will remember the ancient Pagan Yule practices that Christians "borrowed" to form Christmas.
If you find this statement offensive, take some time and study the facts.
