Before you observe Christmas as a Christian this year, ask yourself, "Am I celebrating the holiday simply because it's fun, or because it's tradition, or because of family, or... because everyone else is doing it?" Or, "Am I eager to 'observe the day... in honor of the Lord'?". "Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." 

The fallacies I have in mind are ones that have been circulated over the centuries by what some call popular or folk Christianity. Undoubtedly, these kinds of 'Christian' beliefs can be found in all sorts of categories, not just the one labeled 'Christmas'. But these Christmas fallacies are some of the best known, since they are promoted annually through things like nativity scenes/sets, television and movies, and even Christmas carols.

I'm excited to begin an Advent journey with you using Pastor John Piper's book, "Joy to the World: Daily Readings for Advent"
