Short but very meaningful for those who profess faith in Jesus, and even to those who wonder what Christians believe. It's a short, easy read, since it's actually a children's book. So I appreciated when my friend loaned me this book to read about one of my favorite Christmas songs, "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Honestly, though, I will continue to be a Christmas freak until I leave this earth. It makes you feel kind of squeezed from both sides at times. On the other hand, some Christians reject Christmas as a pagan holiday with no significance to the actual celebration of the coming of the Messiah as a human baby. One one hand, you are encouraged to like the holiday season but give no relevance to Christmas or its origins.
As a believer of Jesus, I think there is pressure going both ways for you as far as Christmas. It isn't even about getting gifts for me. I love Christmas, and I have since I was a child. I was having a discussion with a church friend about whether it was valuable to enjoy Christmas on a spiritual level with all the commercialism and pagan connections of the holiday.
