What Does “Keep Christ in Christmas” Even Mean? [Blog Audio]

Christians are often concerned at Christmastime with “keeping Christ in Christmas.” But maybe we should spend a bit more time thinking about which “Christ” it is we’re “keeping.”

God becoming one of us is the power behind the Christmas story.
