>The Ten Commandments of Christmas
>
>
>
>1. Thou shalt not leave "Christ" out of Christmas.
>
>2. Thou shalt not value thy gifts by the cost, for many shall signify
>
>love that is more blessed and beautiful than silver and gold.
>
>3. Thou shalt give thyself with thy gifts, thy love, thy personality,
>
>and thy service and shall increase the value of thy gifts a hundred fold
>
>and
>
>they who receiveth them shall treasure them forever.
>
>4. Thou shall not let Santa Claus take the place of Christ, lest
>
>Christmas become a fairy tale,
>
>rather than a sublime reality in the spiritual realm.
>
>5. Thou shalt not burden thy servants, the sales girl, the mail carrier
>
>and the merchant.
>
>6. Thou shalt not neglect the church.
>
>Its Christmas services are planned
>
>to help spiritualize the Christmas season for thee, thy family, and thy
>
>friends.
>
>7. Thou shalt not neglect the needy.
>
>Let thy bountiful blessings be shared
>
>with the many who will go hungry and cold unless you are generous at
>
>Christmas.
>
>8. Thou shalt be as a little child.
>
>Christmas is the day of the Christ child; not until thou has become, in
>
>spirit,
>
>as a little child art thou ready to enter into the Kingdom of heaven. 9.
>
>Thou shalt prepare thy soul for Christmas. Verily, most of us spend
>
>much time and money getting gifts ready, but few seconds in preparing
>
>our souls.
>
>10. Thou shalt give thy heart to Christ.
>
>Let thy Christmas list have "Christ in my heart" at the top as thy gift
>
>to Him this Christmas.
