THE CHRISTMAS TEN COMMANDMENTS
Author Unknown
December 14, 2010

1. Thou shalt give thy heart to Christ. Let Him be at the top of thy
Christmas list

2. Thou shalt prepare thy soul for Christmas. Spend not so much on
gifts that thy soul is forgotten.

3. Thou shalt not let Santa Claus replace Christ, thus robbing the day
of its spiritual reality.

4. Thou shalt not burden the shop girl, the mailman, and the merchant
with complaints and demands.

5. Thou shalt give thyself with thy gift. This will increase its value
a hundred fold, and he who receiveth it shall treasure it forever.

6. Thou shalt not value gifts received by their cost. Even the least
expensive may signify love, and that is more priceless than silver and
gold.

7. Thou shalt not neglect the needy. Share thy blessings with many who
will go hungry and cold unless thou are generous.

8. Thou shalt not neglect thy church. Its services highlight the true
meaning of the season.

9. Thou shalt be as a little child. Not until thou has become in
spirit as a little one art thou ready to enter into the kingdom of
Heaven.

10. Thou shall not forget to share your joy, peace and faith with
those around you.
