A little girl was writing a letter to Santa. She wrote, “Dear Santa, thank you for bringing my baby brother last Christmas. This year, I want you to take him back.”
There’s lots of ways to celebrate Christmas. It’s a time for decorating our homes and giving gifts, for holiday music and families coming together. As the song goes, “It’s the most beautiful time of the year.” It can also be a lonely time for many people.
We all know that the reason for the Christmas traditions is the birth of Jesus, assuring the love of God to a troubled world. We celebrate God’s love in our churches with reading the Bible stories of Jesus’ birth, with Christmas music and with Jesus’ presence at the Supper of Bread and Wine.
