No Christmas without Christ.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Here's the reason why we celebrate Christmas (which I am sure you all know - but I have to make a point). Its a day when Jesus Christ (God's own son) was born. He was born to Joseph and Virgin Mary. He came as the solution to all the problems that people faced here on Earth. He is our Saviour who eventually sacrificed himself for our sins.

However, now-a-days, Christmas is more popular by the term X-MAS. Which is a fancy word to celebrate holidays and the marketers love it too. X-MAS consumes less space in any marketing collateral and there's more space for other stuffs like discounts etc. But theologically, I find it absurd. If you remove Christ from Christmas, there is no Christmas left to celebrate!

Now that I have made my point (short and pretty straight-forward), here's the crib that was made in our Church. The ground underneath is actual grass and not made of plastic. The crib has baby Jesus in the center surrounded by Joseph and Mother Mary, shepherds, 3 wise men and animals. Looks cool, isn't it?
