Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 NASB

Christmas reminds us that God became human to show us that, in the midst of all our limitations, God can be reached, and that He lives within each one of us. He is Immanuel.

"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel." (Isaiah 7:14)

At home, Christmas has always been a time to set aside other commitments and to share the wonderful gift God has given us to come together again as a family. 

Christmas is a time of hope and when we collectively remember we are all part of the same family – the body of Christ, God’s church, and that nothing is as important as sharing our love of Jesus with others –  we all come closer to Him.
