Some Christmas movies say that Christmas is all about spending time with the ones you love. Spending time with family is great, but it’s not what Christmas is all about. Christmas is all about the birth of God’s Son, Jesus Christ.
Christmas is all about Jesus, but spending time with family can help us to remember that. In fact, the Bible says that if we believe in Jesus, then we are a part of God’s family. That means that all of us who believe in Jesus are a part of the same family. So “Family Christmas” can include not only the people we’re related to (like our parents and cousins and grandparents) but everyone who believes in Jesus! And God wants everyone to believe and become a part of God’s family, so it’s important for us to share “Family Christmas” with everyone. Many people have a hard time during the Christmas season. Let’s work together to share the love of Jesus with everyone we meet the Christmas, especially those who don’t know that God wants them to be a part of His family. Let’s make this Christmas the best “Family Christmas” ever!
