As Christmas comes closer and closer many forget the holiday’s actual significance. People get caught up in the idea of Santa and presents, and lately you see more and more images of Santa but less and less of the nativity scene.

Christmas is about Jesus, about how he came and the sacrifices that were made. Christmas is a time of giving and celebrating the wonderful life we were given. So remember the next time you are taking your kids to see Santa, maybe you should also tell them the real story behind this beloved holiday.
