God forgive us for losing the meaning of Christmas by placing so much emphasis on self. Help us dear Lord to recover the true meaning of Christmas as a time of remembrance for your humble beginnings and your supreme example of selfless love for others. Show us dear Lord how to give to others what they truly need rather than showering them with gifts that feed their vanity or gifts that strengthen their bondage to this world. Help us to be a true light this Christmas by reflecting your glory to all. May each of you experience a blessed Christmas.
