When I asked one of my P4 classes if they would care if they did not have any Christmas presents, they all said it would be terrible without gifts. However, one of my students said that he would not be unhappy because Jesus is the real meaning of Christmas.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." - Luke 2:9-12
