Christmas is all about Gifts

There are a lot of theories out there about "Christmas" and its true meaning. Some say it's about Santa and his reindeer - other's say it was when Christ was born. A lot of people just see it as a break from the monotany of school and/or work. And then there are the theories that Christmas is "turning pagan" with it's shift to "X-mas" and "Happy Holidays." Whether or not Christ was born on 25 December (highly doubtful), or if Santa Claus can really fit down a chimney without getting burned is something we'll never be able to figure out. And those of us who think X-Mas is an attempt to take Christ out of Christmas need to know that "X" stands for "Xristos," which in english is Christ (messiah/anointed one). Christians need not get caught up in the ruckus of Chrismas debates and take advantage of the season. It is a time where most are excitied to see their families for some fun, food and fellowship. Others see it as a depressing time where they are all alone and cold. We need to share the real meaning of Christmas according to the Bible. Christmas is all about gifts. Here is just 103 gifts for all who believe in Jesus.
