Does gifts, trees, lights & partys have anything to do with Christmas?

From a worldly perspective, yes. From a Godly perspective, no. Man/Women have made what Christmas is today, is that a bad thing? Probably not but when we really get down to where the rubber meets the road Christmas has nothing to do about what gifts we get or don’t get, how pretty our house is or how many parts we go to. Christmas was put in place so we could remember how savior being born so we would never forget it.
