The Ten Commandments of Christmas
Luke 1:46-49
46. And Mary said:
"My soul glorifies the Lord
47. and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48. for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49. for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
The Ten Commandments of Christmas
1. Thou shalt give thy heart to Christ. Let Him be at the top of thy Christmas
list.
2. Thou shalt prepare thy soul for Christmas. Spend not so much on gifts that
thy soul is forgotten.
3. Thou shalt not let Santa Claus replace Christ, thus robbing the day of its
Spiritual reality.
4. Thou shalt not burden the shop girl, the mailman, and the merchant with
complaints and demands.
5. Thou shalt give thyself with thy gift. This will increase its value a
hundred fold, and he who receives it shall treasure it forever.
6. Thou shalt not value gifts received by their cost. Even the least expensive
may signify Love, and that is more priceless than silver and gold.
7. Thou shalt not neglect the needy. Share thy blessings with many who will go
hungry and cold unless thou are generous.
8. Thou shalt not neglect thy Church. It's services highlight the true meaning
of the season.
9. Thou shalt be as a little child ... But not until thou has become in spirit
as a little one art thou ready to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
10. Thou shall not forget to share your Joy, Peace and Love with those around
you.
