He who observes the day,
Observes it in honor of the Lord.
Romans;14:16
IT IS A GOOD THING TO OBSERVE CHRISTMAS DAY.
The more marking of times and seasons, when all agree to stop work and make merry together, is a wise and wholesome custom. It helps us to feel the supremacy of the common life over the individual life. It reminds us to set our own little watch, now and then, by the great clock of humanity that runs on sun time.
But there is a better thing than the observance of Christmas day, and that is keeping Christmas.
Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people, and to remember what other people have done for you; to ignore what the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world; to put your right in the background, and your duties in the middle distance, and your chances to do a little more than your duty in the foreground; to see that your fellows are just as real as you are, and try to look behind their faces to their hearts, hungry for joy; to admit that probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what you are going to give to life, to close your book of complaints against the management of the universe, and look around you for a place where you can sow a few seeds of happiness- are you willing to do these things even for a day? then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing o stoop down and consider the needs and desires of little children; to remember the weakness and loneliness of people who are growing old; to stop asking how much your friends love you, and ask yourself whether you love them enough; to bear in mind the things that other people have to bear on their hearts; to try to understand what those who live in the same house with you really want, without waiting for them to tell you; to trim your lamp so that it will give more light and less smoke, and to carry it front so that your shadow will fall behind you; to make a grave for your ugly thoughts, and a garden for your kindly feelings, with the gate open- are you willing to do these things even for a day? Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world- stronger that hate, stronger than evil stronger than death-- and then the blessed
life that began in Bethlehem two thousand years ago is the image and brightness of the Eternal Love? The you can keep Christmas.
And if you keep it for a day, why not always?
But you can never keep it alone.
