Default Christmas

Do many people know what the true meaning of Christmas is. A lot of people do not give Christmas a second thought. In this consumer society i think the message has got lost. I for one think that it is very sad that people think of what they want for Christmas instead of what Christmas is all about. Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Even my youngest child knows this. The reason we give gifts at Christmas is because Jesus was given gifts at his birth. That is my moan out of the way glad i got that of my chest.

Isn't it sad that in this day of political over correctness and our multicultural society that we hesitate to wish someone a Merry Christmas.

I'm Christian, and this time of the year is important to me, so to all wish a very happy and holy Christmas season.
