Christmas! The way we observe it might include serving others, sacrificial giving, a family meal, baking special treats, or certain decorations, songs, and movies.
For some, it also includes participating in a church Christmas program, attending a candlelight Christmas Eve service, or reading the Christmas story in Luke to those gathered at home.
Many of the stories you'll find here are about personal experiences that have shaped the Christmas celebrations of the authors. Other stories reflect the way Christmas celebrations have changed very recently. And some stories are just for fun. Yet all contain the message of why celebrating Christmas is about more than traditions or even gifts. It's how we share God's perfect gift.
