"We know what real love is from Christ's example in dying for us. And so we also ought to lay down our lives for others...Let us stop just saying we love people; let us really love them and show it by our actions" (1 John 3:16, 18 Living Bible). If we are going to take back Christmas from what it has become to what it is meant to be, we must "love all" - this is THE distinctive mark of a true, authentic Christian.
