Christmas seems to have become synonymous with gift giving and gift receiving. I think that really is what it is all about. After all, from the very first Christmas, Jesus was given gifts of gold, frankincense, and Myrrh.
Of course, many parts of the world have turned Christmas into a commercial holiday rather than a spiritual holy day. I have already received the best gift possible; the rewards of saying my spiritual “yes” to God.
I hope I am able to give gifts to others as well. The best gift I could think of to give someone has to do with the definition I use for love, “Wanting to do for the good of another.” Merry Christmas to all Christians and to all those of other beliefs, please have a happy and joyous holiday!
