Is Christ in your Christmas?

Once upon a time on christmas eve in a family...

Mom (On the phone): Sorry, I couldn't come to the church. You know I'm very busy to prepare the feast for the party.
Son (while playing playstation): Mom! I smell something burning!
Mom: Oh my God! Sorry I have to hang up now. I over-burned my cookies.

Mom running to kitchen, open the stove and got the cookies scorched.
Mom: Oh no! What should I do? The christmas won't be perfect without the cookies

Meanwhile at the living room,
Daughter: Steve, come on you already play for 3 hours. I want to watch TV.
Son: No. It still far from over. I want to finish the game today.
Daughter: Mom! Steve won't give me chance to watch TV. He's been playing for 3 hours.
Mom: Steve! Stop it! Give chance to Sandra to watch special christmas movie.
Son: Mommmm... I can't. I have to finish this game today.
Mom: Steve! Don't you remember what's gonna happen if you don't behave? Be a nice boy or you won't get your present from Santa.
Daughter (while teasing son): you won't get present... you won't get present... you won't get present...

Phone ringing...
Mom (answering the phone): Hello
Dad (in the office): Hello mom, I can't get home now. There's a lot of work to do. If I don't do it I can't afford the present for the kids.
Mom: Didn't we buy it with the credit card?
Dad: Yes, but I've checked it and now it is over limit.
Mom: But it is christmas eve... can you do it later?
Dad: Listen, we are in deep financial trouble, if I don't do it today we are screwed up. The more I talk with you, the later I will be coming home. Okay?
Mom: Okay, but please go home as soon as possible.
Dad: Okay, bye!

Phone hangs up. Mom sitting on sofa with the pile of present.
Mom: Ohhh... why this christmas is so screwed up? My cookies are burned, the children are fighting, my husbands come home late, my friends also coming late. Why all of this must be happen on christmas?

Door bell ringing, daughter open the door.
Daughter: Mommmm... there's a homeless in front of the door.

Mom coming to door and open it to see whos there. She open and close it immediately she know whos there. She's picking her phone and dial some number.
Voice: Ho..ho..ho.. this is Santa agency. May I help you?
Mom: Yes, I was hiring a santa to come to my party. But it looks there are some mistakes, because the one who come is Jesus!
Voice: Sorry, we can't help you, because all santas are occupied. We can send an elf as substitute if you want.
Mom: I want santa, not Jesus, not an elf. A santa! Christmas without santa is not a christmas!

Meanwhile, out there, Jesus suddenly vanished.

Mom: Here talk to Jesus. Explain Him that you didn't send Him.
Mom open the door and find that there is no one there.


Is Christ in your Christmas? Because the center of Christmas is Christ. If you take away Christ from Christmas then it would be just another ordinary holiday.


Merry Christmas everyone...
