What is the Real Reason?

Today while I was driving around getting a few last minute gifts I was thinking about what Christmas really means and why we celebrate it. 
Possible Reasons: 

• Giving our gifts to make other people feel good and appreciated?
• Waiting for a big fat Santa to come down the Chimney?
• The Christmas movies?
• Baking delicious pastries?

While all the ones on the list are pretty sentimental and make a person feel all "warm and fuzzy" inside, they don't come close to the real reason or purpose of why we celebrate Christmas. Jesus really is the best reason of why we should celebrate Christmas. When Jesus is the purpose and reason why we celebrate Christmas, then it becomes about celebrating the best gift of all, our forgiveness and pardon from sin. Without that forgiveness, we'd be on a straight track right to Hell, but God sent his son as the "Perfect Gift" for us who would accept him and call him the Boss of our life, or in classic terms, Lord of our life. It's not the gifts we give or the stuff we make, but the Gift that was given to us.
