Christmas should be simple, not complex, very simple Christmas should be stripped of all of its trappings so that all that is left is the simplicity of god becoming man That is the only element in the christmas seasonal celebration that has in it any lasting power to effect life.

Many of the customs used in this celebration, however, make us wonder how they came to be associated with jesus’ birth in the first place For one thing, there is the myth of santa claus Millions of people worldwide celebrate christmas for various reasons Some enjoy festive times with friends and family
Others think about god or devote time to helping the poor or needy
