In a way, Christmas does for us on a yearly basis what the Sacrament does for us on a weekly basis. It reminds of Jesus, and just before we start making New Year's Resolutions, it reminds us of our commitment to strive to become more like Him. This is especially important for those who don't go to church regularly, but it has great benefits for regular church-goers as well.
Christmastime is a spiritual time for nearly everyone. Whether you regularly feel the spirit or not, most people feel the spirit more strongly at Christmastime than the rest of the year, giving each of us a chance to develop a closeness to the spirit that will hopefully last longer than just a few days.
Let's resolve to be more Christian, not just at Christmastime and on Sundays, but always, and let's let our weekly and yearly reminders help us to do so.
