The true meaning of Christmas

Tweet

Christmas is a festive holiday where everyone in a person's family and probably even their friend's get together to celebrate a joyous holiday. The day when Christ is born and we are all thankful for his actions of giving us everlasting life by cleansing us of our sins. However, this holiday has become twisted into more of a gift-giving season. Now a days people more specifically children are only awaiting Christmas because they can't wait to get their new XBOX 360 or power rangers toy. Is the meaning of Christmas being lost as decades and centuries go by. Will we soon forget the sole origin of Christmas? Will giving and receiving presents be the new purpose and reason for Christams? Or is it just another symbolic way of expressing thanks and gratitude? I would like to know your views on this.
