Christmas, The REAL Christmas

This time of the year is always filled with rushing to get the tree up, the presents bought and wrapped, plans for the holiday, and so much more. People who should be embracing the joy and love of the season are instead grumpy and self centered; they are in so much of a hurry that they don't think of the people around them. And with the culture today, this has become acceptable. And with the culture today, we have come to focus more on Santa, who (spoiler alert!) doesn't exist and is NOT the reason for this time of year. Yes, I said it. Santa is not real. However, the reason we even have Christmas, Christ, is VERY real, and worthy to be not only acknowledged this time of the year, but should be the center of every thing about this time of the year. However, because it is not politically correct to even SAY the name of God, He has becomes a distant memory; a 'thing' that our Great-Grandparents did, and celebrated. I am going to tell you right now, if you haven't already figured this out, I am by NO MEANS politically correct. I say Merry Christmas, not Happy holidays. I say Santa is a thief of Christ's glory, and Focus on ONLY Him this time of the year. So, over the next 24 days, I am going to (or try to) do a blog post every day about the REAL Christmas, the one that is about Jesus Christ, not Santa, Frosty, Rudolf, or any one else. 

I will not apologize if I have offended anyone because in I Cor. 1:23, Scripture clearly tells us that the preaching of Christ and him Crucified is "...unto the Jews a Stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;".
