#534: Does Christmas Matter

Is celebrating Christmas really important?  Does it matter?Today’s world seems ready to tear down any tradition that reinforces Christianity, family, and morality.  For our children, this can lead to confusion and despair.The simple act of celebrating Christmas, decorating and cooking special food, helping kids choose gifts for family members, anticipating the big day, and spending time together all reinforce the love of family.Explaining the reason for Christmas does even more–it points to God, and the good news that his son Jesus loves us all.So enjoy this Christmas, and know that you are giving your children more than the presents under the tree.  You are mentoring them in how to create a loving family, how to give of themselves to others, and teaching them about the love of God.For information about raising your son into a godly man, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
