We need to make Christ the focus of our families Christmas celebrations. After all, his birth is the most important birth in history. As for gift giving, pray about the amount you should spend, make a commitment to spend no more, and stick by your commitment. If you're married, pray with your spouse. Finally, stamp out Christmas credit.
Some families spend months paying back the debt they incur to obtain gifts.
We're in charge As another Christmas celebration approaches, we can take heart in the fact that Christmas gift giving is something totally under our control. There's nothing wrong with giving gifts at Christmas. We simply must be careful not to indulge. After all, it's the misuse of gift giving that entangles us, thereby diverting our attention from Christ to material things. All rights reserved.
