What Christmas realy means to me is celebrating the birth of jesus with a family. I love Christmas a lot. I love to learn about Jesus more every Christmas. I love how the family are all happy to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Thats what I think Christmas is all about.

The great gift of God is eternal life in christ Jesus our Lord! Romans 6:23 The most importin gift is Jesus being born so he could die on the cross to save us from our sins.To me that means so very much! That is why Christmas is so impotin to me ! God thank you so very much.

It means that when Jesus was born he was born in a manger and that shows us how humble we should be. We should give instead of worring about getting. Because Jesus the king of the Jews was born in a manger! God nothing in the world could replace that!

Unlike a lot of people believe Christmas isn't about getting gift and getting the newest thing around. It's about giving thanks to GOD for the best gift ever.And that gift is the of Jesus Christ.For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life John 3:16. What that mans is God sent his only son to die and give his life so that if we believe in him we will live the best and perfect life ever!Plus ddon't be afraid to share that with people who don't know it because the more christians in the world makes God a whole lot happier.And don't forget,Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

I think the most incredible gift is JESUS. God sent an ngel to Mary and that angel said,"You will have a baby and are to name him Jesus." Mary was engaged to be married to Josheph. They traveled a long way and Mary had Jesus in a stable. I'm sooooo glad that happened!!!

Some people get so wrapped up in buying gifts and wrapping them perfecty that they forget the true meaning of Christmas. If God hadn't sent Jesus here, think where we would be! Jesus later died on the cross and saved us from our horrible sins. Everyone has sinned.

I have always thought that Jesus was the true meaning of Christmas. Now I KNOW!!! God and Jesus are so great!! Weird, how such an important baby was born in such an unimportant place- the stable!

Ephesians 2:8 says,"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."
2 corinthians 9:15 says,"Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!"
Matthew 7:11 says,"If you, then, though you are evil,know how to give good gifts to your children, how much mopre will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" (NIV)

Christmas is my favorite holiday! Christmas is when Jesus was born in a manger in Bethlehem. Jesus came to earth to save us from our sins-dying on a cross. I think that is really special to have someone die on a cross for me even know every day I commit so many sins. Christmas is also a time to get together and open presents with family. Byt remember to not get all caught up in buying cool presents, and wrapping gifts. Luke 2 verse 7:"and she gave birth to her firstborn a son, she wrapped him in cloths, and placed him in the manger, there was no room in the inn."

I think Christmas mean to cecleabrat Jeuse's bithday I also think Christmas is about God giving his son. John 3:16 says For God so loved the world that whoever belives in him shall not perish but have eternal life. I thank God for sending his only son to the word to die on the cross to take away all of my sin's.I don't think that at Christmas we need big gifs. We all ready got a gift from God and that is the greatest gift of all JESUS CHRIST.

If I was just a person in the world I would think it was all about lights and presents but I am not one of those people I like to get presents and see lights but that only takes up 10% of my Christmas. What is the rest of it made up of, 90% of it is a little boy and my church. A little boy who would care about a little boy. Well this wan't just any little boy it was a gift. The most incredible gift on earth, Jesus Christ. "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." They are right through Jesus Christ you will have eternal life. "Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!!" Right at Christmas time don't just think about the presents you got thank the people who got them for you. I also think about my church and how we do Operation Christmas Child wear you fill a box with different things and they get sent to a child who isn't as fortunate as we are. That is what Christmas means to me.

Christmas is when Jesus was born in a manger. God sent an angel to tell some shepards that a Savior as been born. He is Christ the Lord. You will see a baby laying in a manger wraped in cloth. So the shepards went to Bethlahem with a gift in there hands. Mary called the baby Jesus.
Luke2:6-7
While they were there,the time came for the baby to be born,and she gave birth to her firtborn,a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger,because there was no room for them in the inn.

To me Christmas is about JESUS. It's amazing that He started out as a baby. Just like any other human, but He was really the Savior of the world! "Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs." Psalms 100:1-2 God sent His Son so that He could die on the cross to save us from our sins. Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people the sheep of His pasture."
Psalms 100:3 I thank God that He sent His son to die on the cross so that we would be saved."Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever;His faithfulness continues through all generations."Psalms 100:4-5
That is what Christmas means to me.

What Christmas really means to me is Jesus being born. WHen God sent Jesus it was just like God was sending us a gift. Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God The gift God gave us is very special that is why I think we open presents.

Hey Anna I loved your comment. The angel did come to Mary and told her that she was going to have a baby.
