The True Meaning of Christmas:

I know with the when word Christmas comes in our head we think about christmas tree and gift and santa.. and in doing all those rituals we forget what is the real Chirstmas is... I thought I will write something about it.. Hope you will enjoy..

Christmas is one of the most important days among Christians. This day commemorates and celebrates the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas is more than just a holiday. It is the remembrance of the fact that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

Jesus' birthday - Christmas is about God's love. It is about God's love for you and me. It is God expressing His great love for mankind, through the giving of the greatest gift, the Lord Jesus Christ. He loves us not because of what we are, but He loves us because of what He knows we can become, if we'll allow Him to get involved in our lives.
Ephesians 2:

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Romans 8:1-3:

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

This is the purpose of Jesus' coming to this world. His purpose was to come and take away our sins. As being in flesh, we cannot fully justify ourselves and cannot come in the right standing with holy and righteous God. Jesus came to bare upon himself the wrath of God and to pay the full penalty of our sins that all of us should have right standing with God.. Jesus Christ came to do this awesome deed for us.
That's the true meaning of Christmas that Jesus the best gift of God coming to do what the flesh could not do and that is to bring us back into fellowship and communion with the Heavenly Father. Living in Adamic sin the holy life we could not live, Jesus lived that life for us the holy life required by the law and by his death and resurrection he imputed that life in all who believes on him so that in Him we are holy and blameless in the sight of God.
Merry Christmas to all..
May the joy and jingle of Christmas bring you happiness on Christmans and through out the coming year.. God bless you all richly
love Eva

For me christmas related childhood memories means singing Away in the Manger..........one of my favourite christmas carols, The other one being Silent night.
Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there
