Christmas must be something more . . .


If you know Taylor Swift, you’ll know the meaning if this song. :D
This is not a love song but a song that defines my topic. My topic is not about the typical Christmas’y posts. It’s the fact that Christmas is not about Santa, or the holidays or the fun we have. It is about the birth of Christ, well duh, everyone knows that then why try to forget it. He took birth to save us all from DEATH.  But I’m not going to talk about that. Actually, I am going to focus more on the opposite sides.

Number 1 > Some non-Christian think that Christmas is the birth of Santa Claus, ridiculous and what is more ridiculous is that even Christians already knowing the truth still act as if it is Santa’s birthday. I won’t let him take away the meaning of Christmas. This picture shows a  more appropriate meaning .


Number 2 >  Christmas is not about the gifts under the Christmas tree. I didn't even have one last year.
                    Talking about Christmas tree's where did the topic of Christmas tree even come from?
                     This is copied from History.com/ Christmas trees :

Germany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition as we now know it in the 16th century when devout Christians brought decorated trees into their homes. It is a widely held belief that Martin Luther, the 16th-century Protestant reformer, first added lighted candles to a tree. Walking toward his home one winter evening, composing a sermon, he was awed by the brilliance of stars twinkling a midst evergreens. To recapture the scene for his family, he erected a tree in the main room and wired its branches with lighted candles.

So you see, the great Christmas tree that people give such attention to has no actual relation to Christ.

Number 3 > Songs like Jingle bells, Santa Claus is coming to town or All I want for Christmas is you.
                    These songs maybe Christmas related  but they aren't related to the reason of the season.
 
I guess you already got my point. I am not stopping you from enjoying Christmas but don't take Christ out of Christmas : D anyways, Happy Holidays, celebrate it with Christ. Catch you later. Oh and Merry Christmas.
