As we celebrate this special day, I would like to remind everyone that Christmas is not a pagan holiday.

Another thing, is that it is okay to celebrate, but to always direct the focus on holy things such as the Nativity. Presents, trees, and stockings look fun, however we must remember, as Christians, to always never lose focus on what Christmas truly means, as the secular modern world has now.

While it is not commanded in scriptures to celebrate it, if one celebrates it the right way, what negative effects are there to be had?

Martin Luther, the grand Reformer, is credited in putting lights on Christmas trees, because he saw the beauty of God's creation shine through a fir tree. It was his favorite holiday because he saw so many elements of the gospel shine through, and reminded him of the purity of Christ's humble birth.

Let us pray for our enemies and friends, share the news, for our savior was born!

Merry Christmas.
