What is Christmas? Shannon Anthony Filonczuk

Is Christmas being remembered, celebrated and understood as it should be? This story's author takes a look at the presents, activities and the message he is giving his children about what Christmas is and takes a pause. What is the real purpose of Christmas? The author cross checks the stories from the Bible and reflects on recent events with his children and tries to make the true message clear. Christmas is celebrated so that everyone can know that God sent his son so that people can be saved from their sins. This book came about after a Christmas break vacation and discussions with the author's children and his students. The author asked them simple questions: Why is Christmas celebrated? How do you celebrate Christmas? Why do you celebrate Christmas? How does your family celebrate Christmas? And the answers varied, with many good answers given, but none were able to answer with the core truth. When the author's wife started reading the preliminary version of this book to his children, the conversation between them was a great reward to hear. What is Christmas? If a family reads this book and discusses that question and reflects upon it, this author would be grateful.
