Even if Christians who celebrate Christmas don't lie about Santa Claus, they don't have a worldly view of Christmas but there's always one problem that the flesh can be easily distracted from studying the Word of God. Even if the churches or work places aren't celebrating Christmas in a worldly way by getting drunk or disturbing the neighbors with loud music but one can be distracted by all the food and gatherings that don't happen often. It's not that Christians who celebrate Christmas only do good on Christmas but anyone who's still growing in the faith may forget to study the Bible because of all the delicious food or exchanging gifts. Even if there's nothing worldly with exchanging gifts (the Jews did also during the Feast of Purim to celebrate their victory over the devilish decree of Haman) but it's so easy to get distracted from the greatest Gift of All for mankind: the Lord Jesus Christ.
This Christmas could be viewed as an opportunity to do more studies on the subject of the Incarnation of Christ like the birth of Christ as narrated by Matthew or Luke or getting a deeper context of Isaiah 7:14. It could be time to even further study the genealogy of Jesus. At first, Christians may not fully know it but once they study it they'll understand more about the Davidic Covenant. Stuff like why four kings were deleted from Matthew's genealogy or how Jesus could still sit on the throne should be further understood with Bible studies on the Incarnation of Christ. It's no easy subject but it can be understood with diligence and God's grace. This Christmas, never forget to keep studying your Bible.
