May you have a wonderful celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Why not read some great quotations by Jesus? You can find them in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the New Testament -- the best book by far that I have ever read!

An angel said this about Jesus: "You shall call His name Jesus for He shall save His people from their sins." A wonderful way to celebrate Jesus' birth would be to ask Him to forgive you and to set you free from your worst sin. Repent and don't do that sin anymore. Then living Jesus Christ will set you free!
