Why We Do Things the Way We do It

Behind the Scenes...

The color Red: Represents Jesus' blood The color Green: Represents everlasting life. An example is the evergreen tree, which keeps its brilliant color all year long.

Why do we give and receive presents during this one holiday season? The reason that we give presents for Christmas is because God gave us the best present ever: his only son, Jesus. In receiving God's gift, we are then grateful and motivated to be like him and give out of his love for us.
