Ep 12: Christmas Unwrapped - Presents or Presence

from NWCC_The Room · host Now Word Covenant Church

December 9, 2025 . Christmas has become heavily commercialized, shifting focus from Christ's birth to Santa Claus and material gifts. Even Christian celebrations often get biblical details wrong, like placing the wise men at the manger when Scripture shows they visited Jesus as a young child in a house. The key is celebrating with intentionality rather than obligation, teaching children about biblical generosity that flows from gratitude for God's gift of salvation. We can navigate holiday stress by checking our hearts, creating space for reflection, and setting healthy boundaries with difficult family situations while maintaining focus on Christ's presence over presents.
