From a very young age, our children knew that this special day, set aside each year in December, represented an opportunity to reflect on the significance of Jesus coming to earth and the ultimate gift He gave of His life on the cross for the salvation of humankind.Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. He is the reason for the season, as is often said. We wanted our family to remember always that the most important part of Christmas is Jesus. The children loved to help decorate the cake, and there was always a discussion about how many candles to use since 1900+ was not an option! One of the ways we celebrated with our children was to have a birthday cake on Christmas Day and sing “Happy Birthday” to Jesus. It’s a time to celebrate and give thanks to God for the gift of His Son, just as Anna praised God when she saw the Christ Child in the temple.Ībove all else, Christmas is a birthday celebration. We discovered that this annual holiday represents much more than giving and receiving presents.
Christmas suddenly took on a new meaning. Two years into marriage, my husband and I both gave our lives to Christ. Though our family went to church regularly, I was not taught about Jesus as my personal Savior. At that moment, she came up to them and began to give thanks to God and to speak about the child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.Īs a child, Christmas was primarily about getting presents. She never left the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. She had lived as a widow since then for eighty-four years. She was very old, having been married to her husband for seven years until his death.
