For many this is one of the better times of the year, getting together with family to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. I remember way back when I was a kid and the excitement of this time of year, mainly because of the big bag of candy handed out after our Christmas program! (I didn't eat the apples.) Our family opened presents after that which was always fun.

Those are great memories and we wish you and your loved ones great times of celebrating Christ's birth and being together for your family traditions. As you celebrate, may you be reminded of the great gift God gave to you with the birth of His Son who came for your eternal life.

God gave the greatest gift of all. Worship Him with all you have and have a Merry Christmas!
