Gift giving, done rightly, doesn’t distract from the meaning of Christmas. Pastor John puts gift giving in biblical context. On Wednesday we addressed Santa. On the table today is gift giving. Here’s the email: “Hi, Pastor John. My name is Kaitlynn. My family seeks to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, and not make it so much about the gifts. Two questions: Is gift giving biblical? And is there a better way to do it?” Episode 1289: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/why-do-we-give-christmas-gifts Related Resources: “ What Should I Tell My Kids About Santa?” https://youtu.be/iTBIUeJCozE “Santa Claus: Harmless Fun or Tragic Distraction” https://youtu.be/iTBIUeJCozE “The Key to Experiencing Christmas Peace in Your Life Today” https://youtu.be/MidbEoJlMIw “Do I Love God for His Gifts or for Who He Is?” https://youtu.be/gK1zP6zH2GI Ask Pastor John Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKvMOJ1T8T4&list=PLFF7F6AE365DA3564 Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes, http://desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
