I believe that the true meaning of Christmas is different for everyone. For some it means spending the Christmas season with family and friends, remembering the birth of Christ, reliving old traditions, or giving service to those in need. Listed below are personal experiences and stories of those who learned the true meaning of Christmas.

Don't miss parts two and three: Christmas Stories for Children and Youth, and Christmas Crafts and Ideas.
