The Christmas season tends to act like a last-minute cram session for the year’s final exam as we seek the perfect gift, attend the right events, and observe the proper attitudes toward one another at the close of the year.

You may not have the Christmas you wanted this year, but by God’s grace we hope and pray you will have the Christmas you should – a Christmas connected to Jesus.”
