5 ways to make your Christmas count for Christ

It’s easy to get lost in the busyness of the season, but dare we ask ourselves what really matters this Christmas? If we do, we might just discover that it changes everything, says Susie Larson

Christmas is a time of great joy, expectancy and celebration. Yet, all too often, we lose ourselves in preparations and miss the sacredness of the season. Why does it matter? Because it’s this holiday on which we honour the birth of our saviour. It’s this time of year when people are open to the things of God. And it’s precisely this season when Christians most often lose sight of what’s available to them in Christ Jesus.
