It is about an intentional re-orienting of our hearts to Christ, letting go of traditions that actually take our focus away from Jesus during Christmas and fully embracing the wondrous moment when Jesus entered our world to make things right. When we allow Christmas to revolve around accumulating more money or possessions, barriers are raised between our hearts and God’s command to love Him and others.
