There seems to be a trend not only to forget Christ during Christmas, but to be politically correct and forget Christmas altogether. Many no longer acknowledge Christmas at all, but instead say 'Happy Holidays' rather than 'Merry Christmas'. I will continue to say 'Merry Christmas' whether it is politically correct or not.

From careful study of the Scriptures, it seems Christ may very well have stepped out of the glories of Heaven and been incarnated on Christmas day, an even more important miracle than His birth which likely occurred in the Fall.

I enjoy remembering Christ at Christmas and encourage others to also. That said, our Lord asked us to remember His death, not His birth. His body was broken and His blood shed as a ransom for us, that those who humbly accept His unspeakable gift may be alive forever with Him.

Hi Rory, Thanks for the post and to add to your comments... I think it is important to remember and know that Christ "overcame" death. Two deaths... one being a "physical death" and the other a "spiritual death". Most important is that He "Lives" and offers Life Eternal. joe
