What does Christmas mean to you? To some folk, it means hard work. The stores are crowded with shoppers, the post office is overflowing with mail, and the trains, buses, and planes are carrying record crowds. To some, Christmas means that Santa is coming with his sleigh full of goodies.
Then, to some, Christmas means a visit home. Surely, this is the best time of all the year to be with family and friends. To some people, Christmas is a time of sorrow, loneliness, and sad memories. They look back over the year and think of the loved ones who have left them since last Christmas. Then, to some, Christmas means it's party time.
Then there are millions of people for which Christmas means nothing. They do not know Jesus. They could care less about the Christmas season, and December 25, for them, it's just another day!
Now, if Christmas is to be right, we must first make room for Jesus! When Mary and Joseph came to the inn, the innkeeper said, "We have no room for you." My father's children, this man missed Christmas and all of its meaning. He had many guests in his hotel, but they were soon gone and forgotten. If he had allowed Jesus to be born there, this would have changed his hotel and his whole life.
