"Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." James 1:16, 17

"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men." Luke 2:10-14

What are these gifts under our tree and what are all gifts under all trees when compared to the Great Gift of Christ? I will gladly forfeit all gifts and pleasures to have Christ. I thank God for Christ, for apart from Him I would be forever ruined.
