“The giving of gifts is a natural response to Jesus’ stupendous act of self-giving, when he laid aside his glory and was born into the human race.”[1] What is the gift of Christmas? “At the heart of it all should be the reminder that Jesus came to earth as God’s ultimate gift—our Redeemer and Savior.…
