01. You shall have no other gods when celebrating Christmas, even the attractive Santa Claus, who is an intruder in this Christian Celebration. 02. You shall not distort the Christmas celebration, like those who don’t know the Christ of Christmas. 03. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord our God using it as a reason to celebrate a Christmas and not to glorify His name. 04. Remember on Christmas day to thank the Lord for birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem and examine if He is truly born in your heart. 05. Honor the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit when celebrating Christmas so that you may live long sharing the joy and peace that only Jesus can offer. 06. You shall not murder the spirit of Christmas, celebrating it in a selfish way. 07. You shall not commit adultery against the true meaning of Christmas, making use of it for gluttony, alcohol, and other practices that don’t correspond to a good Christian testimony. 08. You shall not steal the opportunity to give to others a little of what you gained during the whole year. 09. You shall not give false testimony against Christmas, giving the impression that the celebration is yours and there is no place for Christ in your life or on your table. 10. You shall not covet the way your neighbor celebrates Christmas, either the presents they receive or the food on their table, but remember that “It’s more blessed to give than to receive.”
Pr. Marcílio Gomes Teixeira.
