The song “Deck the Halls” tells us tis the season (it is the season) to be jolly.

• Children write letters to Santa.
• We shop for gifts.
• Stores sell more in a few weeks than the rest of the year.

Yet, Christmas means so much more.

• We decorate houses, yards, and businesses.
• Christmas trees pop up everywhere.
• Music rings from businesses, bells, and choirs.

Yet, Christmas means so much more.

• We read Twas the Night before Christmas.
• We watch Christmas movies.
• We practice Christmas plays.

Yet, Christmas means so much more.

• We eat, bake, and eat again.
• We attend parties.
• We visit family.

Yet, Christmas means so much more.

Charlie Brown yelled, “Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?”  Linus told him, simply and beautifully.

That holy night a Savior came who changed our world. Will you let Him change your life?

“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord” (Luke 2:10-11 NIV)
