The Ten Commandments for Christmas
1) Thou shalt remember to keep Christ in Christmas.
2) Thou shalt pause in thy business to consider the magnitude of God's gift of Christ to humankind.
3) Thou shalt remember that Mary and Joseph found no room at the Inn, and, remembering, give Christ the chief room in thy heart.
4) Thou shalt participate joyfully in the Christmas activities of thy church.
5) Thou shalt be of generous heart in answering the appeals of the needy at Christmas time.
6) Thou shalt take time to plan for the happiness of those outside thine own circle of family and friends.
7) Thou shalt enjoy, in unhurried calm, the priceless heritage of Christmas carols and great Christmas art.
8 ) Thou shalt give of thyself in all thy gifts, giving not for duty, reciprocity, or personal satisfaction, but for the simple joy of sharing.
9) Thou shalt remember, with patience and understanding, all those who serve thee--the sales people, the postal and delivery people, the newscarriers and all others who bear the physical burden of the holiday season.
10) Thou shalt teach thy children the true meaning of Christmas, of the Prince of Peace who came to show us a way to righteousness and happiness.
