Christmas?

Christmas ? what is it all about? why are people all over the world celebrating it?
Why is Christmas day so significant for christian people?

How many people celebrating this day without knowing the true meaning of Christmas? true meaning for them of course. Not the true meaning for christians, but the true meaning for each of us.

I have been talking mostly about our individual relationship with Jesus lately and for Christmas day i want to say the same thing.

Every year i have been celebrating Christmas with reasons such as :
1. Yay its holiday for at least 2 weeks!!
2. Whoohoo food and party in the church after the service
3. Gathering of the whole family
4. Going out with LOTS of friends
5. Lots and lots of invitations to a Christmas party
6. Gifts of course

They are pretty familiar reasons aren't they?
I want it to be different this year, i want it to have a special meaning this year..
i really want to be very grateful for the existence of Christmas day, i want to have a personal reason for celebrating Christmas.

I haven't found out yet the specific reason to celebrate christmas this year.. what i have been thinkin is being grateful that Jesus was born but it is pretty obvious and general or for me it is too common.
Maybe i am a bit selfish but i want a reason that will make me very happy in chirstmas day, all about my relationship with Jesus.

Please help me with comments or give some testimonials about your personal reason celebrating christmas. Thanks
and God Bless
oh yeah
Have a merry christmas
