The Ten Commandments of Christmas

I. Thou shalt not leave “Christ” out of “Christmas” nor refuse to use the word Christmas during this season.
II. Thou shalt demonstrate joy to the world, for the Lord is come.
III. Thou shalt not let Santa Claus take the place of the reality of the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem.
IV. Thou shalt remember that the value of gifts we give and receive is the love that’s behind them.
V. Thou shalt consider the words of Jesus,”It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
VI. Thou shalt not neglect Christ and His church during the Christmas Season.
VII. Thy Christmas Cards shall bear the good news of the coming of Christ and His salvation.
VIII. Thou shalt be kind to those who serve; the cashier, the merchant, and the mail carrier.
IX. Thou shalt remember the greatest gift of all, when God gave His only begotten Son.
X. In all thy giving, thou shalt give a gift to the One whose birthday we celebrate. Appropriate recipients shall
be missions, thy church, and those in need.

  1. Thou shalt give thy heart to Christ.  Let Him be at the top of thy Christmas list.
  2. Thou shalt prepare thy soul for Christmas.  Spend not so much on gifts that thy soul is forgotten.
  3. Thou shalt not let Santa Claus replace Christ, thus robbing the day of its Spiritual reality.
  4. Thou shalt not burden the shop girl, the mailman, and the merchant with complaints and demands.
  5. Thou shalt give thyself with thy gift.  This will increase its value a hundred fold, and he who receives it shall treasure it forever.
  6. Thou shalt not value gifts received by their cost.  Even the least expensive may signify Love, and that is more priceless than silver and gold.
  7. Thou shalt not neglect the needy.  Share thy blessings with many who will go hungry and cold unless thou are generous.
  8. Thou shalt not neglect thy Church.  It's services highlight the true meaning of the season.
  9. Thou shalt be as a little child ... But not until thou has become in spirit as a little one art thou ready to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
  10. Thou shall not forget to share your Joy, Peace and Love with those around you.
