Christmas: Then and Now

Then:  I thought Christmas was about Santa Claus and raindeers,
Now: I realized Christmas is about a Saviour and a Redeemer!

Then: I thought Christmas was about receiving gifts and presents,
Now: I realized Christmas is about giving gifts and sacrifice!

Then: I thought Christmas was about new dress,
Now: I realized Christmas is about new life!

Then: I thought Christmas was about lights and decorations,
Now: I realized Christmas is about The Light!

Then: I thought Christmas was about the shepherds,
Now: I realized Christmas is about The Shepherd!

Then: I thought Christmas was about the wise men and their gifts,
Now: I realized Christmas is about The Wise God and His Gift!

Then: I thought Christmas was a holiday,
Now: I realized Christmas is a Holy Day!

Then: I thought Christmas was for a season,
Now: I realized Christmas is for eternity!

Then: I thought Christmas was about me,
Now: I realized Christmas is about HIM!
