Christmas means love and Jesus birthday to me. I spend it with the people I love the most my family.
Happy Holidays.
Thanks for the chance!
Christmas is all about family and celebrating Jesus.
Christmas 1st is the birth of our King, Jesus. To think of how Mary must have felt being chosen to carry and give birth to a baby that would one day save millions of people is beyond my minds understanding… I just can’t imagine all that she went through to carry out God’s plan. Just listening to stories and songs about Christmas and passing them on to my 11 grandchildren makes me one proud Nonna.
Christmas means to me getting together with family and friends and reading in Luke 2 about the birth of Jesus. We put God first. It is nice getting today on Christmas and we do give gifts, but that is second.
Christmas means to me is family and love. I love get togethers with my aunts to make cookies and we all exchange different kinds. I also love making breads and candy with my mom. The most important thing I enjoy is on Christmas eve we all get together for midnight mass. The church and music is absolutely beautiful.
Christmas means to me the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. To celebrate the one who is born on this day with family and friends. Celebrating with good food, loving and being joyful in all what we have.
Christmas is a time to reflect on the past year and enjoy family time and traditions. This Christmas will be different but will try and make the best of it by still doing some traditions and virtual visits with family.
Actually, it means everything. My Saviour was born on earth as a man to save me from my sins. it means a quiet time of reflection, being with family. Cooking Baking.
Christmas means to me celebrating Jesus’s birthday. By celebrating we get together with family and friends. Decorate with a tree and lights. Make things shiny and bright. If it’s possible to give three gifts. Like the three wise men gave. But be extra careful this year. We can only celebrate with a limit. To stay safe. Be careful and stay safe this holiday.
I wholeheartedly agree!
Christmas to me, as well as my family, is the Celebration of the Birth of Jesus! It’s not so much on the gifts and decorations like alot of people focus on. It’s more on the real Reason for the Season!
This is what Christmas means to me and my family!!
For me, Christmas is a time to be especially thankful that our Father God made a way through His Son, Jesus, to free us from the bondage of sin, to give us a chance at eternal life and a relationship with Him that surpasses anything imaginable. It is a time when everyone seems to be just a little kinder to each other and there is an excitement in the air of what is coming.
First and foremost, it is Jesus’ birthday! It is also a time to be with family, and do a lot of baking and eating.
Christmas m3ns the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. The love of family and friends
Christmas means family and good food.Baking cookies and making candy. Praising God’s birth. Remembering that it isn’t only about getting or giving presents.its about sharing with those less fortunate as well. Being grateful we live in a country where we can celebrate God’s birthday.
Christmas means to me spending time with family and friends. This year might be a little different but the feeling of closeness and togetherness will still be with us.
To me it is a time to show love to family and friends, and also to help others in need.
Christmas to me is the celebration of Jesus by praise and worshipping him . Then family.
we got married 50 years ago this month and my husbands birthday is this month and then Christmas Jesus birthday so this time of year means alot to us. we love going to church to watch the childerns Christmas program about Jesus and the singing then family comming over for Christmas eve dinner. thats what Christmas means to us.
it means thinking of others….we love finding giving trees so we can purchase clothes or toys for someone else. i also enjoy working at the food bank
Christmas is a time when we spend as much time together as a family. It is a time of expectation of what it must have been like when Jesus first arrived as a baby.
Christmas for me is the feeling I get of being so blessed with my family and friends. Also thanking God for his son and celebrating his birthday. Especially this year with so many uncertains we face each and every day.
This is very generous of you. Thank you.
To me the meaning of Christmas means that I get to celebrate the season remembering what God went through in sending his only son to earth to save us humans. It means that I can show others what Christmas means to me in tangible ways. I try to remember this all year long but yes life does have a way of stepping into things. That is ok, He is bigger and stronger than I am and I can rely on Him completely
God- He’s the reason for the Season. Family and friends. Lots of love. Sharing of memories of Christmas past. Remembering the ones we’ve lost and are sharing Christmas with Jesus. Christmas is a happy Season. Wishing this could be carried on into other seasons
Christmas is celebrating the Greatest Gift of all time: the birth of my Lord & Savior! Only HE could fulfill the prophecies of the Bible in coming to earth as a Babe! It is also time to sing the beautiful Christmas carols about His birth and plan of redemption! I love spending time w/ my family & church family during this season!
Christmas means love and family. I enjoy being with my kids and grandbabies they are my world. I’m sick and my liver is dying so is the rest of my body. I have low platelets so if I get hurt and I can’t stop the bleeding and I’m alone I can’t say goodbye. So Christmas may be my last so im being with my family and being close to God.
Christmas means the birth of my Savior! Because of Him I have a wonderful family. He is the greatest gift ever given. ❤
I want it to mean so much more than Christmas presents and get togethers. I want my celebration to be more about the greatest gift of the baby Jesus
Normally it’s all about family… this year had had its challenges. We may have Christmas at Easter depending on vaccinations. I do hope to get cards out this week. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. From Northeast Ohio
Christmas means the celebration of the birth of the Christ Child! Where would this world without him?❤️❤️❤️
Christmas means Emmanuel, God with us. Hallelujah ♡
To me Christmas is about celebrating Jesus’ birthday. Every year when our families get together, my mother buys a special birthday cake and we sing to the baby Jesus. This year will be different as our family Christmas celebration has been cancelled. We will celebrate Jesus’ birthday individually at our own homes instead.
Christmas is about family gatherings and celebrating our love for Jesus. It is not about who can out decorate their neighbors or who spends the most on gifts.
To me Christmas means spending time with my family especially this year with all the challenges we had to face.My greatest joy is spending time with my Grandkids and I pray we all stay healthy. Have a Merry Christmas Kathleen.
First and foremost, a celebration of Christ’s birth. Also, spending time with family and friends.
Merry Christmas
Christmas means lots of beauty as I get out the decorations and say “hello” again to my snowman collection. It is the time to exchange cards and family news with friends and family. It is also a time when I can use my creative side to paint and make things for others and a time to stop and give to my local community to help others. And the bonus is getting to see all the beautiful lights and decorations aglow every night.
Christmas to means love, togetherness, and family. With my parents and in laws gone now it means memories of wonderful times spent together, until we meet again.
It’s for kids to be happy. Teaching them to appreciate what they get. Being kind all the time.
Christmas means a lot of different things to me. First, we celebrate Christ’s Birth and what that means for our salvation. It’s also a a time to get togther with friends and family and enjoy each other’s company and exchange gifts. Merry Christmas.
Christmas is a wonderful, joyous time to celebrate with my family the birth of our Lord
The birth of my savior and family.
Christmas is the celebration of Jesus’birth. It’s also a time to get together with family and friends and enjoy being with those we love.
Christmas is a holy time. It means the birth of Jesus. It’s a time of love and giving. It’s a time for kindness and going out of your way to help others. It is my favorite time of year.
Christmas is family time, time for celebrating the birth of our Savior & trying harder to share His love with others.
Christmas means to me family and friends, even strangers, uniting together to share love. Expressing your thankfulness to share that moment with one another and to say thank you to God for the ultimate sacrifice on your behalf.
Christmas means celebrating the birth of our Saviour Jesus and it means celebrating family time, not sure how that will look this year yet! Its also a time of sharing with those less fortunate, thru the food bank, giving to the Angel tree, have done a few so far, hope to donate more! Spending time with our grandchildren is so special this time of year! Thank you Kathleen for being a Blessing thru your books and giveaways ♥️
Christmas is a time to pause in our hectic lives and appreciate the blessings we have received. The birth of Christ helps us to rewind our troubled, overwhelmed and confused minds to focus on peace, love and joy.
Christmas is Jesus’s birthday and being with family.
Christmas means hope, joy, love, and peace. A time to share the good news of our Savior’s birth to family and friends, Also a time to reflect on the year and thank God for our blessings. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Christmas means remembering the true reason for the season. 2020 seems to be the perfect time to put Christ first. I pray every day for peace, love, and healing of our loved ones, strangers, and this wonderful nation.
Christmas means celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus. It’s not about getting gifts and being caught up in the busyness of the season. It’s about giving and showing kindness to others. It’s about the joy of the season. Celebrating with family, singing carols and seeing beautiful lights adds joy to the season.
Christmas means remembering that we are celebrating Jesus’ birthday. It means being with family and close friends and celebrating the love we have for each other. To me, Christmas is a peaceful, relaxed time to remember all the blessings we have been given. (My email is all lowercase, btw. Not sure why it posted as caps.) Thank you for the chance and Merry Christmas!
Christmas has meant different things to me at different times of my life. As a child – no school for 2 weeks and lots of presents. As a young adult, it meant faith and taking on some of the responsibilities of the season. As an older adult, it is faith and family and traditions. Also, service – trying to volunteer and help others.
Christmas means The Birth of Jesus The Love he Has shown everyone!
Christmas to me is celebrating the birth of Jesus. God sent him to save us from our sins and teach us what God wants us to change in our lives in order to live the way we need to to get to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Christmas is all about celebrating Christ’s birth, for me. One granddaughter and her family will come over for Christmas Eve dinner, but Christmas itself will be a quiet day.
Christmas is the celebration of the the best gift in all of history when love, salvation, and redemption came wrapped in an innocent baby, the incarnate Son of God Who willingly laid aside His glory and left heaven to walk on lowly Earth with fallen mankind and become the sacrifice that saves us from our sins when we accept that gift from the Lord.
Christmas means remembering when I was a little girl and the wonderful memories my Mother gave me, that I have stored deep in my heart….I lost her 10 years ago….but feel her presence very near me especially at this time of year… xx
Christmas is Hope! Christ’s birth gives us hope of life eternal. Christmas is family, love and hope. Jesus is the reason for,the season! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Christmas is a time to remember the Reason for the Season. Knowing that Jesus came as a baby to save us is all that really matters. It is always a time to gather with friends and family. However, this year will definitely be different as more families and groups of friends will be forced into social networking in order to see their relatives. I am unable to even be with my own mother as she has been in lock down at an assisted living facility since the end of August. I haven’t been able to see or visit her in person since the end of September. I know that this isolation is ruining her but I try to keep reminding myself that God is always with her and with us. God’s blessings to Everyone!
Christmas to me is The birth of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, We are saved by this Great Child! Glory to God in the highest!! A savior is Born! ❤
Christmas to me means celebrating Jesus and what He means to us, our family and friends! It’s about spending time with family, helping those in the Community, it’s a season of giving and making smiles. But my favorite part is the seeing the kids open their presents Christmas morning.
Christmas is my favorite holiday. The most important thing is celebrating Christ’s birth. I love to make and buy gifts for my family and friends. Our family gets together at my daughter’s home for a big potluck and exchange gifts.
Christmas is love! It is the birthday of our Lord who is all knowing and all good. It is a time to count our blessings and celebrate His birth with our family. He is the Reason for the Season ! It is a time to reach out to each other and spread His love! ❤️
Christmas to me means celebrating Christ, Our Savior’s Birth and reflecting on what He did for us. Also it means for me a time to spend with family and friends and to treasure the time we have with them. I also love watching my loved one’s faces as they share in the joy of the season.
Christmas is most special because it reminds us of Jesus who came as Savior to the world as well as Counselor, Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and so much more. We celebrate with the joy of Jesus in our hearts by sharing love, food and gifts to others…family, friends and neighbors alike. Have a blessed Christmas to you and yours!
Christmas is warmth, kindness, family and enjoyment. Being together is the most important and meaningful things.
Christmas to me is all about family and fun and traditions. I love doing little things to make the season magical and special.
Christmas means peace to me it means being with my family and my loved ones and singing carols and going to the Midnight mess and celebrating the birth of Jesus
Christmas is remembering my first love, Jesus and holding His love for me closer.
Christmas to me means being with the ones I love, even if it’s virtually! It also means talking to friends that I love and miss. Thanks!
<3. Thank you for being such a beautiful friend to my girl. Merry Christmas!
Christmas to me is not about the presents and the hustle and bustle of the season. To me, it is a time of reflection on my life and if I am doing all I can to be who Jesus wants me to be. He was born for ME and to forgive MY sins. Wow! I need reminded of this often but reflect on this at Christmas. It is also being with those around me that I love and who love me.
Snow, lights and family is what christmas means to me.
Christmas is the time of Jesus’ birth. it’s a time to spend with family and loving them as well.
Christmas means Christ loved me so much to come down to be born in a manger. It means, faith in my heart, family, and friends. In a nutshell it means LOVE
Celebrate the birth of Jesus……a time to count blessings,and share with to others that need help so there is joy in their life, spending time with family out of state (sadly not this year) joy in children’s faces at the wonder of it all. And as my daughter is a ballerina it means nutcracker
Christmas means to me a time to remember the greatest gift God gave us! Christmas tends to be somewhat self-serving, but it’s a great time to give to others. Christmas is giving!
I love that it is Jesus birthday. For me it is being with my kids & husband. I also think new beginnings & fresh starts because Jesus birth was a new beginning for all who believe. Thank You for the chance.
Christmas is when Jesus was born and the wise men brought him gifts.
Christmas is a reminder for me that God sent his Son to be the ultimate sacrifice so that I could have eternal life. It is a picture of perfect love. Mary and Joseph’s doubts were real as was their obedience. I strive for that obedience in my life. It also reminds me that God knows I am not perfect but loves me anyway with all my faults and weaknesses. It is a time to celebrate with family and friends, even though that will no be possible this year I am thankful that they are all safe and happy and we can FaceTime, Zoom or whatever to at least see each other’s faces.
Christmas means our Savior’s birth. It was also my maternal grandmother’s birthday. We would buy her a Christmas and birthday present. It’s also time to spend with family. I enjoy cooking and baking for Christmas. My momma, Daddy, and I have put together two Christmas puzzles. I enjoy decorating the tree and house. I delight in seeing my nieces open their presents at Christmas .
It means celebrating christ birth and the love of family
Christmas means a time of love and family, of renewal of hope and peace. It’s the birth of our dear Saviour, Jesus Christ. It feels my heart and soul with hope and purpose and a love for our fellow man.
Christmas stands for Jesus’ birthday. The most special love of all. And I share that love with my family and friends.
Christmas is a time that we can remember the birth of Christ our Savior.
Christmas means to me……. spending time with family and friends and celebrating Jesus Birth. Christmas is also a time to relax and enjoy family time and good food
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year..Not only is it the birth of our savior and King but it is time for families and friends to be together.I love decorating and cooking ..
Christmas means “giving” to others.
The most wonderful Christmas gift we ever got was when my son received the gift of life from his wonderful donor. He had a double lung in 2018.
So when I think of Christmas it can be as simple as “giving” a hug , a smile or “giving” your time to listen or talk to a person.
Christmas celebrating the birth of Christ, family and friends. This year will be hard to be with close friends and family, but remembering the reason for the season is still possible. Many blessings to all.
Christmas is the time to celebrate the Birth of Jesus’s and also the time to spend with family. I grew up spending all holidays visiting PA where my grandparents and Aunt and her family lived. My taught us that that family is very important and we still believe that. We no longer go to PA but we all get together here to celebrate together.
Christmas is a holy time. Jesus came to us and to save us from our sins. This Christmas means a lot to me. We have all been thru the COVID. My granddaughter had it and she also has MS. She works as a front liner worker in two places. Then son in law got it and in works at a prison. They both recovered. My granddaughter has after affects of the COVID. Then I got the news I had breast cancer this year.
So I have had a trying year probably like everyone else. The one good thing is the Lord was with me through it all. Christmas isn’t about gifts it’s about the love we have for one another.
Christmas means CHRIST! The birth of my Savior <3
Christmas is a time for my family to give back to those in our community who are less fortunate than we are.
We celebrate Christ’s birth by giving the gift of our time, and giving gifts to a local school for homeless children and their families.
With COVID-19, we are still giving of our time and giving the children at the school gifts, we are just doing it remotely.
Praise God from whom all Blessings Flow!
Thank you for the opportunity to pass the Peace of Christ on to those in need this holiday!
Merry Christmas.
Christmas means spending time with family and sharing special memories.
Christmas means family and the birth of our savior. Since I’m high risk, it makes all celebrations different. Even though I have been staying home most of the time, We still have a Mary and Joseph traveling around our living room and every year, they make it to the stable just in time. Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and New Year.
Christmas means to me celebrating the birth of Jesus. Also, spending time with my family and reflecting on the year. Thanks for the chance to win.
Christmas to me is a time of family get togethers, a time to give thanks for the many blessings we have and pray for those less fortunate, also a time to reflect on the real reason for Christmas. A time of much love
Christmas means family being together, and celebrating the birth of Jesus! Being with family is very special to me. I also like to remember the Christmases when I was little. Our whole family would be there, brothers and sisters and all the nieces and nephews , and we would enjoy a nice meal and just be together for the day!! Christ is the most important thing to remember! God Bless you and your family! Thank you Connie Cassell. cjc5591@ameritech.net

Christmas is about Jesus. His step down from Heaven to a sinful world as a baby. His great love for mankind so much so that he laid down his life for us all.
It also means love for our family, friends and community. Merry CHRISTmas!!
Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Psalm 127: 3
Christmas is a time for family to gather, for parents to demonstrate love and generosity, for grandparents to teach patience and understanding, and for aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings to embrace peace and harmony.
It is Jesus’ birthday! It’s about giving and showing kindness to others. Being with family and friends. Merry Christmas ,

Christmas is a time for giving and children It is a high point in Christian calendar Giveing joy to others carol singing helping the lonely and needy even if they find it difficult to accept
Christmas to me means celebrating Jesus’ birthday..It is a happy time to spend with family, or to spend time, or do things for someone that doesn’t have a family..It is a time for caring..
Christmas means remembering the day Christ was born. The whole story is a miracle. Christmas is GOD WITH US, Emmanuel. Only the beginning of the best sacrifice that God could make on our behalf. Easter could not have happened if not for Christmas!
Merry Christmas blessings!
A time to listen to Christmas music, watch movies, baking treats, and surprise my kids and hubby.
Family… that’s what Christmas means to me. It’s the one day of the year my whole family gets together ❤
Christmas means love, pure love sent from Heaven to Earth. It is the birth of our precious Savior, Jesus.
Christmas is of course remembering Christ’s birth. But also, it’s time for food, family, and generosity.
The birth of Jesus and family. Thanks for the chance.
The birth of JESUS Christ!
To me Christmas means The Birthday of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It also means Family.
The birth of Jesus,family.friends and neighbors. Hearing from people who you haven’t heard from in a long time.
Marion
Christmas isn’t about me. or the presents, its about celebrating God Son, so He would die to save us. Celebrating God’s most precious gift, We cannot out give the Lord. I am forever grateful!!
When I was a kid, Christmas meant different things to me than they do now. I’ve gotten older and Christmas isn’t about getting gifts but about the greatest gift I was ever given when Jesus Christ was born to save my soul. Christmas used to be filled with lots of family activities but now most of my immediate family will be spending Christmas in Heaven this year. I will celebrate with my sister and our two cats. Merry Christmas to you!
Christmas is about getting to spend time with family and friends.
Christmas means the celebration of the birth of Jesus. It’s a time to give to those in need and to be thankful for what we have.
Christmas is the birth of Christ but also a time to spend with family and loved ones.
Purchasing a live Christmas tree,decorating,greetings to all family,friends,and neighbors. Reading holiday books and Religious ones too. Watching favorite Christmas movies and of course The Birth Of Jesus.
Marilyn
Christmas means the birth of the baby Jesus. I do enjoy going to midnight church service and seeing my 8 grandchildren on xmas.
Watching the joy of my children celebrating the birth of Jesus.
Now, I am adult and I understand what Christmas is really about! It’s about the celebration of life and the birth of one amazing person who made his birth meaningful and for him I am so grateful for all he had done! Jesus is the reason for this special holiday and it’s a wonderful gift to spend with family and love ones to celebrate his life and birth!
To me, Christmas is a time to be especially thankful that our Father God made a way through His Son, Jesus, to free us from the bondage of sin, and give us a chance at eternal life and a relationship with Him that is beyond imagination. It is a time when folks are kinder to each other, and there is excitement in the air of what is coming.
Christmas means that it is the day we celebrate as Christ’s birthday
Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. Even though it may not have occurred on this day, it’s important to set aside time to give thanks for sending His Son to us in manly form. For me it’s also family time.
Christmas means to me joy and peace. It seems like every year people get nicer and more peaceful during the month. I love to see the joy on other’s faces when they receive a gift. It doesn’t have to be expensive just a little something to let them know that you are thinking about them.
Christmas is a time to celebrate my Savior’s birth and time to stop to focus more on family and our blessings.
Christmas means love – love of Christ first, love of family, friends, and mankind.
Christmas means the birth of Jesus Christ to me. My husband and I are eldely with no family to speak of, except our cats. We shelter elderly rescues. If anyone asks me what I’d like, I always say some Friskie’s canned cat food for our cats. We have 8 of them and most have no teeth. We live on our Social Security and the joy we have is our love for each other and our cats. Life is good! Happy Holidats to everyone!
Christmas to me first means the birth of my Blessed Lord. Without him I am nothing and with him I am everything. Next is the love of my family and friends. It’s not about the presents under the tree for me but it’s the people around my tree that mean the most
Christmas is the celebration of the Birth of Jesus Christ. And it is about FAMILY!
Isaiah 9:6 ESV
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
ESV: English Standard Version 2016
This is what Christmas is all about for me. Celebrating and rejoicing in the birth of our dear Lord and Savior. Without him, there would be no Christmas. There would be no celebrations. Everything would be meaningless. Jesus is the Reason for the Season. That is what Christmas means to me.
Christmas is a new beginning. First because Jesus came and in Him we become a new creature. It is also the end of the year and in just two short weeks after that day we get a brand new year to begin again to be what Jesus wants us to be. It’s a way to mark the past and forget what lies behind, and to reach forward to what lies ahead.
Christmas to me means the great gift of love that God gave by sending his Son to earth to die on the cross and take away our sins. And all we need to do is accept his love by believing on Him. It means the gift of love of family and getting together to celebrate our love for each other and Jesus.
Christmas means a time to reflect and be thankful for all blessings! Each year we are reminded how tremendously special each day is with our friends and family. People should never take it for granted, as no one knows the future!
Christmas is celebrating the birth of Jesus, being with family and all things wonderful. It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Christmas means the birth of our Savior. The most precious gift we could ever receive. Babies are truly a Blessing from Our Father.
Christmas means celebrating the birth of Christ; spending time with family & friends, especially seeing little children’s awe/wonder at the Christmas celebrations.
The Birth of Jesus. Reading Christmas books and magazines. buying a live Christmas tree and watching my favorite classic Christmas movies
Joan
The most important day of the year as it is celebrating Jesus birthday.Being with family and friends and celebrating is important too but won’t be happening this year because of pandemic.I’m very sad over this but it’s better to be safe!Merry Christmas to everyone!
Christmas first and foremost is the birth of the Christ child who would save us all from our sins. Church service Christmas Eve with family and friends. Getting together with daily and friends to share a meal and show each one we care. It is a time to spread love and good to all we meet with the hope that it will last for weeks to come.
Christmas is my favourite holiday. It is the day we celebrate our Lord’s birth! There’s also a lot of traditions and family time attached to it. I love Christmas carols, decorating, baking, and wrapping Christmas presents. This year will be especially difficult as Jesus called her home on December 5th. I am so happy that she is home. I have the assurance that we will meet again, but it still hurts. Tomorrow is her funeral. We will remember who she was and her home going. It will be a very different Christmas. ⭐️
Christmas is a time to reflect on the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, by helping others and remembering our friends & family
Christmas means hope, peace, and love – all of these because of the birth of Christ and the promise his birth gives us in his eventual death and sacrifice. It’s a beautiful time happening in the quiet of winter at the end of the year, giving us time to pause and reflect.
Even secular details like Christmas lights and Christmas trees bring light and cheer to help us with the darkness of winter. And even Santa Claus is about having faith in things you can’t see. And goodness being rewarded! I love the film The Polar Express as well as It’s A Wonderful Life. Each of these films has themes that resonate with me this time of year!
Christmas means the birth of a baby who was our Savior. It is also a time to be with family, continuing family traditions, baking lots of goodies, crafting decorations for our home, and just spending time enjoying the beautiful season.
Above all else Christmas to me is about my Savior! Without Him being born, I would not have eternity in Heaven. But it is also about family. The time I get to spend with all my kids and loved ones!
Christmas, first of all, is Jesus’s birthday. It is a time to share with family. This year will look a little different. It’ll just be my husband and me, but that’s ok. We will know that our extended family will be sharing it in their households and that we will be able to get together next year at this time (hopefully). Christmas is all about sharing and love.
Christmas means love and Jesus. Spending time with my family.
Christmas is when we celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a chance for us express our faith and the privilege of being able to openly hold up our religion. As with all birthdays, each family celebrates it differently. As for my family, it’s a big celebration of family gathering, expressing love for God, and hopefully paying forward all the many blessings we have been bestowed with. The way I enjoy doing that is to bake up the recipes passed down to me by my Mom and my Granny making goodies boxes to share with those that don’t have visitors during the holidays from being alone, miles away from family or medically can’t. For little ones, I enjoy giving them age appropriate books about Jesus’ birth and the true meaning of Christmas. When I give of myself, instead of giving money or buying gifts, I feel more like I’m celebrating Jesus’ birthday and not the coming of Santa Claus and maybe, just maybe, introduce someone to the true reason for the season.
Christmas is the Birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Christmas is all about family and fun and laughter and lots of good times spending a Beautiful day with Loved ones. Thank you for the chance. Have a Great rest of the week and stay safe. God Bless you and your family.
Christmas means to me the day of the birth of Jesus
Christmas means the birth of Christ. Celebrating with family.
Christmas means the greatest Gift ever given to any of us, in the birth of Jesus Christ. It means, remembering that not just on Christmas, but every day. It means the love of family and friends and gathering together to celebrate together.
Christmas means spending time with family and friends celebrating the birth of Jesus. Eating way too much food and trying out new recipes on my family haha. Remembering those that are no longer with us. We make gifts as much as possible and give to those in need as much as we can.
Christmas means celebrating the greatest gift ever. The gift of Jesus. It also means being thankful for the love of friends and family.
Christmas means to me the birth of our Savior, Jesus who was born to save us from our sins
Christmas is a time to celebrate Jesus’s birth. It’s a season of giving (though it’s also a year round thing). It’s a time for getting together with family and making some great memories and just enjoying time with them.
Christmas means Celebrating Christ’s birth with family and friends gathering together
To me Christmas is a time to remember the birth of Christ and what that means to the human race. It is also a time for family.
Christmas is a beautiful time of year. First and foremost, we must remember the reason for the season. I love to see all the decorations. I am not able to do much myself anymore. Christmas is pretty much low key at my house. Mostly knit, crochet, and read.
Christmas means the day we set aside to celebrate Jesus birth. No birth, no salvation. It’s also the time to celebrate family and show love to those we hold dear. It’s my favorite time of year.
Christmas to me is a man made holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus, who came to earth to be our Savior and Lord. I’m thankful God willingly sent his son in the form of man to become our sacrifice so we can have eternal life as long as we’ve accepted Jesus as our Savior and Lord and lived according to His Word.
Christmas to me is Celebrating the Greatest Gift ever given to us, The birth of Jesus Christ. We love to remember loved ones and friends that have passed on, share recipes, sing Christmas Carols, It is just a wonderful time of the year to catch up with family and friends we cannot otherwise see the rest of the year.
Christmas means The birth of our Lord Jesus. It’s a time to show family & friends the love that our Lord and Savior Jesus gave to us. God Bless and remember JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON.

Christmas is a time of loving, giving, sharing, reflecting, gratitude and hope; aside from the many, varied religious connotations present in our wonderful world! Christmas Blessings to you and yours this Holiday Season and in the New Year.
Christmas is a time to remember my Saviors birth and the reason He came. i am thankful for my Salvation at a young age….which would be about 70 years ago.
Christmas means the birth of Jesus first and foremost — the best gift of love EVER! It also means spending time with loved ones, singing, listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas movies. But without the baby in the manger none of it would matter at all.
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year . For me Christmas mean the birth of Jesus. That the most important, then you see the eyes of the little ones opening presents and the excitement in their facial expression and the joy in their precious voices. I love to decorate the house for the grandkids and make homemade items . Them you have these cute movies that when they come on your five year grandson sings his little heart out . I love this time of the year and I love seeing Christmas through the eyes of my babies .
Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of our Savior.

What Christmas means to me, Christmas is a celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus! Christmas is spent with family and friends to share Love and Joy!
Christmas means that Jesus is God’s gift to humankind to bridge the gap between humans and God. It is a time to share the love of God with others.
Christmas is a celebration of God’s love for his people. The gift of his son Jesus means so much more than his birth but also his death, resurrection and coming kingship. Because of that love we can be redeemed from our sins and are expected to share the Good News with others. It saddens me when Jesus is left out of so many Christmas celebrations. I am so blessed to have a family who love the Lord and each other and make Jesus the center of our holiday.
The birthday of our Lord and savior who died that I may live….
Christmas means, Jesus birth, family and lots of yummy food. Christmas also has heart aches. With family gone to heaven, or family has a rift.
Kids love the fun tradition
Christmas means sacrifice to me. God Sacrificed his only son to be born of a virgin and through his birth we all have a path to salvation.
Christmas is a time for giving and being with ones you love!
To me, Christmas is a time to celebrate the birthday of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is also a time for family and friends to gather together in love and celebration; however, with the current pandemic, we will be celebrating without family. Unfortunately, many will be alone as we will be but we will still keep in touch with video conferencing. This is also a time when those who have passed before us are missed but remembered. A time to help those less fortunate and to be grateful for all we have – our salvation, each new day we are given, our loving family and friends, the roof over our heads, good health, prosperity, food on our table, our freedom and those who are serving our Country and all who have served before them – but most of all, we must be thankful for a loving and forgiving God the Father, His Son and our Savior Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. God bless everyone and Merry Christmas.
To me, Christmas is always a peaceful time. I know this is because of Christ’s birth and his gift of peace. For this I am thankful at Christmas and all year long.
God, the reason for the Season. Hope, Love, Friends, Family, Beauty of the Season, Togetherness, Faith, Charity, Giving, is what Christmas means to me.

Christmas means family to me. For the last 20 years my grandma has had everyone living nearby come for dinner and she sends them home with a box of homemade cookies. Over the years the gathering has dwindled as people have died, don’t travel as much in the winter, and moved away, but it is still a special time for those of us still here…

Christmas means to me, the birth of Jesus Christ who died on the cross for my sins. Who gives eternal life. A time for families to be together to share the birth of Christ. Teaching our children about Jesus and what He does for us, the miracles He performs, the answers to many,many prayers we send His way. Christmas is a time to remember the good times and the bad and what we have achieved each year.
Christmas is a time when I really count my blessings. I love the sparkly lights, the warm blankets, the yummy cookies, the gaily wrapped gifts, and the beautiful tree. Most of all, I love when the shopping and wrapping are done, and I can just slow down and enjoy the season with my family.

Christmas means to me being with family and friends and enjoying each other’s company. COVID has messed this up this year but Lord willing things will be better next year.
I’m thankful Jesus was born and gave hope to the world. I fondly remember family gatherings when I was younger.
Christmas is a time for me to reflect on my family and all that I have. Throughout the year, I get sidetracked and busy. I forget to stop and enjoy all that I have. Deepening my faith in my God and my loved ones helps me center and focus on what’s important….Faith Hope and Love – The greatest of these LOVE!
Christmas for me centers around the old adage “Jesus is the reason for the Season”. Any and every which way one can celebrate His birth is how I like to commemorate Christmastime, starting with Advent. Later on, I love going to Midnight Mass; it’s so peaceful, shining with its music and decorations and with its life-size Christmas Manger. Spending time with loved ones is key on holidays but it seems even sweeter at Christmas. Our tradition is to open one gift each on Christmas Eve after Mass, the rest on Christmas morning. This represents my other favorite part of the holidays — the shopping for and giving gifts to my family and friends. I can’t wait to see the expressions on their faces when they open their gifts and the smiles (hopefully) that result. It makes me feel so warm and yummy inside. It’s the best feeling in the world knowing I’ve made them happy and that I’ve spread some serious joy around to those I love! So exciting!! Hopefully, their mirth might even inspire them to spread some cheer to others in their wanderings further on down the road! Happy Holidays to you and yours and to all your readers! Everyone be safe during this “crazy” time of ours too!
Christmas is the date we have set aside to celebrate God’s gift to all of us. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 He knew what His purpose was, & He still came because He loves us so much!
