Christmas thoughts

As we go through the Advent season, it is often hard for us to stay focused on the true meaning of the season. Familiar sayings like "Keep Christ in Christmas" and "Jesus is the reason for the season" are somewhat overused and overused and trite now and so are ineffective. What does help you to keep the holy

I pray every night and thank the Lord for what I have in my life.

The thing that helps me keep holy is teaching my little brothers the true meaning of Christmas. Each year when Christmas comes around my little brothers are always stressing the importance of what they are getting for Christmas. When hearing this i teach them the true meaning of Christmas. In doing this I am also reminded of the true meaning of Christmas.In stressing to them to keep Christ in Christmas, I also remind my self to do the same

Church keeps me holy. Praying everyday keeps me Holy. Remembering what God did for us keeps me Holy. So does the holiday season. That is what keeps me Holy

What keeps me Holy during Christmas is knowing how blessed i am. I get to wake up and open gifts on Christmas while there are other kids who wake up and don't get to open up anything because they live in poverty. Every kid should be able to open up a present on christmas because its an exciting time of year and every child should get to experience the joy. So what keeps me Holy is knowing that I am blessed and praying for the kids who aren't as fortunate.

Being helpful around the house keeps me holy. I pray every night to be closer to God. I try and mentor little kids by rearing them in the right direction. I try and go to Church every Sunday to keep me holy. I am a very holy man.

the things that mostly help me keep the holy are church and theology class. because i dont pray alot, that doesnt help me at all. so every sunday i go to church and try to pay attention so i could keep the holy. also theology class keep me educated on the true meaning of the holy so that helps me alot.

What keeps me holy around the holidays is going to church. I try to pray as much as I can. I try my best to cause less problems for my parents. I do all these things because I know this time is special. This is one of my favorite times of the year.
