Kindness, not commercialism
December 20, 2013
A friend once told me that we are not only Christians, but we are also a Christmas people. I thought, “How can this be?” We do not flaunt Christmas garlands and holly on our houses year round. But she told me that we are a people that celebrate Christ’s birth and epiphany every year. In doing so, we are called to spread His message of joyful waiting, unconditional love, peace and humility. We are given this wonderful opportunity to tell others about how Christmas came to be and we can share the definitive reason of the holiday with others. We can do this through service to others.
