Eph 1:15 For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints, Eph 1:16 do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers; Eph 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.

Luke 2:11 for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord
A savior is BORN, who is CHRIST The LORD..... My first Christmas as a Christian was Dec 25, 1984... It was a most memorable time... I was 32 years old and although I had seen many times over Christmas Day... Because I was now saved.. Finally I understood the true meaning of Christmas... Its not about the presents, its not about the tree, and its not about the parties and all the other things secular society interprets Christmas to mean....
Here is a simple Bible verse from the Holy inerrant Word of our Living Savior and GOD... That tells us ALL the true meaning of Christmas...
Luke 2:11
for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:12
"This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
Luke 2:13
And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
Luke 2:14
"Glory to God in the highest
Dear readers, this is the true meaning of Christmas...
All the other Christmas Holidays when I tried to capture the feeling of Christmas , the feeling always escaped me in fact I must say my pursuit of the Christmas spirit ....prior to knowing our LORD Jesus, would often leave me depressed..........I would say,.. after all this preparation and money spent..., Where is my joy...... The magical time that everyone around me was trying to obtain, always fell short...But not this time.. The feeling of Joy I experienced,... because I finally knew Jesus as my savior, forever in my heart changed my perception of the Christmas Holiday...
And therefore everyone Who is a disciple of Jesus...I most earnestly hope that GOD's Spirit will rest upon everyone as you enjoy the true Spirit of Christ during this Holiday and everyday....,
Acts 13:52
And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
