Leigh Ellen Bee’s fourth grade class at Destin Christian Academy was asked what the meaning of Christmas was to them. Here are their unedited responses.
“Jesus died for our sings. He was whipped while dragging the cross that he was hailed to. Christmas is Jesus’s Birthday. Christmas isn’t about presents, It’s His Birthday! So Celebrate Him with a lot of love and joy.” –MacKenzie Chandler, 9.
“To me Christmas is a time for us to celebrate Jesus’s Birthday and for us to sing, praise, and worship Him. When Jesus came to Earth He knew that He would have to die on the cross for ours sins. Today we celebrate His birthday about only gifts, toys and presents we lose sight of what is realy important about this special day. I hope and pray that someday that everyone will be able to hear about Christmas and think about it as everyone else does. Because that is what Christmas is about, families getting together and celebration Jesus’s birthday.” –Rominey Willner, 9.
