CHRISTMAS: Prepare Him room. St. Nicholas. "Baby, It's Cold Outside." Celestia.

The Bible says nothing of celebrating Jesus’ birthday or how to do so. It’s sad that so many Christians only celebrate their Savior when they are the ones getting the gifts. Still, we can rejoice in the Lord on December 25 as well as any other day.

This week we will discuss preparing room for Jesus in our hearts, and not just when the day is circled on the calendar; the real St. Nicholas and his evolution from bishop to cultural icon; how cold it really is out there in Satan’s world; and takeaways from one of the games the Hammons family has already unwrapped.
