This money may be used in such a way as to wreck the spender morally and spiritually. Christmas teaches us what to do with our money. The wisemen had money. All that they needed for daily living and some more besides. Of this they brought gifts to Christ.
Money takes on true meaning when given to the Savior.
Yes, we need Christmas that we may learn what to do with our material goods. We need Christmas to give us excitement in life. Nothing is worse than a doleful, drab, dull life. They discovered that Christmas gave real meaning to life. We need Christmas.
