Is Christmas really about Jesus? I\u2019m going to get in trouble with this message, but Christmas is NOT really about Jesus! We have all read signs or heard some say that \u201cJesus is the reason for the season\u201d, haven\u2019t we? Well, it\u2019s not about a baby being born in a manger or the shepherds or the three wise men. You probably think I\u2019m going to make reference to Christmas being about Santa Claus and presents and Christmas Trees, and if you do, you are wrong also! Before you start sending me all that hate mail or making comments about this introduction, please listen to the podcast to find out what I mean.<\/p>\n\n
