Emphasis Preaching Journal

The tradition of Christmas in this country is really a collection of many traditions wrapped up like a gift that takes several weeks to open. Unless things have changed, children today carry on a tradition I enjoyed as a child which began only an hour or two after the Christmas gifts were opened. That is the tradition of gathering up several of the favorite gifts that could be easily transported and take them to a friend's house to visit. We needed to see what each other received, and play proudly with these new toys.
