Some of you may be debating whether to go to church on Christmas day or stay home and unwrap presents.  

Christmas, though, is not about us; it's about the savior of the world.  Christmas is not our birthday; it's Jesus' birthday. 

Why not come to church this Sunday and celebrate the birth of the one who made Christmas possible.  After all, if the choice is between staying home and unwrapping presents or going to church to celebrate our savior's birth, what do you think Jesus would have us do?
