Have you ever been asked, “What is the True Meaning of Christmas?”
Me too…
Here’s a true story which took place during the Christmas season in our home a few years ago…

The True Meaning of Christmas!

When my son Joshua was eight years old, he asked me what I wanted for Christmas during his bedtime prayers. I answered, “As long as I have Mommy, Faith, Lily (our dog) and YOU… that is all I need.” He smiled and we kissed each other good night as we did every night.

Julie came into Joshua’s room a few minutes later.
Joshua asked his Mommy the exact same question he had asked me a few minutes earlier.
Julie basically offered the same response.

Joshua would not stand for such an answer. He pressed on, asking hi Mommy once again what she would like for Christmas. Julie’s answer did not waiver.

Then, in a whisper, with his little hands cupping his Mommy’s cheeks, Joshua offered a plan which could only be hatched in his little, intelligent, and imaginative mind.

(Whispering…) “I know what we can do Mommy. Next year you tell me what you really want for Christmas. Then, I will tell Santa exactly what you told me. Then, next Christmas on Christmas Day I will open my present from Santa, and it will be exactly what you want and then I will give it to you. Because Christmas is really all about giving and not wanting.”

I was and still am… speechless!

“For God so loved the world that he gave…” (John 3: 16)
