• Children are great at celebrating.

• We have a reason to celebrate Whom angels celebrated.

• (As someone has said: ‘The hinge of history is on the door of a Bethlehem stable)

• I am (you are) a child of God made possible by Christ’s advent as we know Christmas
  

5 reasons we celebrate:

• I (we) celebrate our communion (fellowship) with Him, The Holy Spirit and our Heavenly Father.
  1 John 1:1-4

• I (we) celebrate that we can communicate with heaven. John 14:13-14

• I (we) celebrate our distinct community. 1 Peter 2:9

• We celebrate the local church and the culture of Christ

(Robert Fulford Dec 22, in the national post on “why this unbeliever is happy to celebrate Christmas”)

• I (we) celebrate that Christ is our Champion.

Our celebration should cause others to come to Him.

Have a merry Christmas this year and always.
