Happy Santa Day?

Posted December 9, 2005

I’ll make this a brief entry for now but I was in the store last night with Justin and was suddenly overwhelmed with this feeling of disgust. I told Justin I was anti-Santa Claus this year(not to take that away from little kids) because that seems to be all that Christmas has come to be. It’s either “Happy Holidays” or “HO, HO, HO, I’ll bring you video games”. What are we teaching our children? What are we as Christians allowing this Awesome Day of Jesus’ birth to become?

This year (and every year) I truly encourage you to go out of your way to tell someone….everyone, MERRY CHRISTMAS! or HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!

Christmas shouldn’t be about getting presents, it should be about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, our savior. This is the most special day of all! Without Jesus we would be nothing and Heaven would certainly not be an option. So instead of reading “The Night Before Christmas” this year. Read the Christmas story straight from the Bible.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

    I totally agree with what you are saying. My grandparents are so mad that stores say happy holidays instead of merry christmas. It is like people get so wrapped up in shopping and gifts that they don’t take the time to think about what the holiday really means and how special it really is. It is really sad.

    I grew up thinking that Santa Claus was a Christian (St. Nick) who celebrated Jesus Christ’s birth. So, maybe what we’re missing now is the link between the two (for the kids).

    you tell girl. makes me proud. Jesus is the reason for the Season and we tend to forget that sometimes. the world can not leave Jesus out if we keep throwing him back at them so you keep telling it. love, raine
