 _The True Meaning of Christmas_


Millie slumped in front of her computer, searching for the true meaning of Christmas online. With 49 million sites to sift through, she felt overwhelmed.


"Where's the real Christmas?" she wondered. Sites about Santa Claus, the Grinch, and commercialized holiday products flooded her screen. Recipes and cultural celebrations from around the world added to the noise.


Millie's confusion deepened. "Isn't Christmas about the birth of Jesus Christ?" she asked herself. After all, Christ is in the word Christmas.

This holiday season, remember that Jesus Christ is the reason for the celebration. Look for Him amidst the hustle and bustle.

A victim of poverty, or a survivor indeed? The lines blur, as she walks the night  A complex web, of separation and light
