Christmas Ten Commandments



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 receiveth 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. Its services highlight the true meaning of the season.


9] Thou shalt be as a little child. 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 faith with those around you.
