#16-Celebrating the Birth of Jesus, who He is and why He came as a baby- How can we enjoy Christmas culture while still keeping Jesus first and not allowing it to become an idol in our hearts

Today it’s just me Caroline, I’m talking about some of my favorite things, Jesus and Christmas.

To some they are separate things and to others they are the same thing. We live alongside each other, believers and non believers in a culture that are both celebrating a holiday that was instated in America to celebrate the birth of Christ. You may say Christians stole the thunder of the winter solstice, I talk about that too.

So how then shall we Christmas? What is the story of Jesus, who is He? Why did He come, and as a baby no less? SIs it ok to celebrate Christmas like our neighbors who aren’t celebrating the birth of our Savior? Watching movies like Elf and the Santa Clause, Hallmark channel and looking at Christmas lights and the list goes on. I talk about why I believe it's important to participate even if it isn't a seemingly Jesus based Christmas activity. 

How do we not get caught up in making it more about the gifts and the season? I will share my own personal story from this year How God has been working on my heart. I will also talk about why I think it’s important to celebrate alongside our neighbors even if they aren’t celebrating the birth of Christ.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:11
