Christmas is rife with traditions, some of them a bit odder than others (live trees inside, hanging up more lights outside, etc.). Every year we look forward to observing these traditions, but then every year we pack all of the trimmings away and get on with life. Is this really all that Christmas is meant to be? The answer, of course, is no Christmas is the pivotal moment in history that ushers in peace between Man and His Creator. In this teaching, well reveal the revelers who first heard of this peace and ask ourselves two questions where had peace been that it needed to reappear, and then what exactly has this peace provided us? May Christmas be ever synonymous with peace in your mind.
