Commandments for CHRISTMAS

I. Thou shall not leave “Christ” out of Christmas.

II. Thou shall be as a little child. Christmas is the day of the Christ child; as a little child be thou ready to enter into the Kingdom of heaven.

III. Thou shall not neglect the Church. Its Christmas services are planned to help spiritualize the Christmas season for thee, thy family, and thy friends.

IV. Thou shall not neglect the needy. Let thy bountiful blessings be shared with the many who will go hungry and cold this Christmas.

V. Thou shall not let Santa Claus take the place of Christ, lest Christmas become a fairy tale, rather than a sublime reality in the spiritual realm.

VI. Thou shall prepare thy soul for Christmas. Verily, most of us spend much time and money getting gifts ready, but few seconds in preparing our souls.

VII. Thou shall give thy heart to Christ. Let thy Christmas list have “Christ in my heart” at the top as thy gift to Him this Christmas.
