Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of Christ and our hope in Him. The only way to do this is to share our faith in Christ with those around in all our celebrations. While all Christians must aspire for this alone, somehow Christmas celebrations have become ridden with traditions and customs drawn from a pagan festival called Yule that is celebrated just about the same time as Christmas. Many Christians unknowingly follow these traditions with no clue as to their origin. This is not only unbiblical but also hurts our God of love. Learn about these pagan Christmas traditions in this week’s update and make this Christmas different by not going by these popular Christmas fads.
