      Introduction

      Christmas is many things to many people. We’ve picked just a few of that Christmas is to us and selected quotes, stories, Scriptures, songs, and even recipes to help inspire you and remind you that:

      Christmas is giving—Gods gift to us, His Son, Jesus Christ, inspires us to give to others.

      Christmas is cookies—Here’s where the recipes come in. Christmas just isn’t Christmas without a plateful of yummy cookies!

      Christmas is children—The wonder and mystery of Christmas is never lost on children. During this joyous season, approach Christmas with a childlike heart.
