Ten commandments for Christmas Thou shalt not leave "CHRIST" out of CHRISTmas, making it "Xmas". To some, "X" is an unknown quantity. Thou shalt prepare thy soul for Christmas. Spend not so much on gifts that thy soul is forgotten. Thou shalt not let Santa Claus replace Christ, thus robbing the day of it's spiritual reality. Thou shalt not burden the shop girl, the mailman, and the merchant with complaints and demands. Thou shalt give thyself with thy gift. This will increase it's value a hundredfold, and he who receiveth it shall treasure it forever. Thou shalt not value gifts received by their cost. Even the least expensive may signify love, and thus is more priceless than silver or gold. Thou shalt not neglect the needy. Share thy blessings with the many who will go hungry and cold unless thou art generous. Thou shalt not neglect the Church. Its services highlight the true meaning of the season. Thou shalt be as a little child. Not until thou hast become in spirit as a little one art thou ready to enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Thou shalt give thy heart to Christ. Let Him be at the top of thy Christmas list.
