“Who among us will celebrate Christmas correctly? Whoever finally lays down all power, all honor, all reputation, all vanity, all arrogance, all individualism beside the manger; whoever remains lowly and lets God alone be high; whoever looks at the child in the manger and sees the glory of God precisely in his lowliness.”

~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Every year we are presented with the temptation to believe that Christmas is all about us. What should we ask for? What should we get everyone else?

Don’t fall for it!

Spend some extra time in prayer this Christmas.

Spend some extra time talking to an old friend.

Make the season something more than what you can buy.

Make it a great day.

Merry Christmas.
