The Christ in Christmas by Pat Simmons


Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house… Who isn’t familiar with the childhood poem?
As a child, I was taught the meaning of Christmas alongside the fantasy of Santa Claus, which in times past, took the spotlight off of Christ.

Today, tonight, tomorrow and forever, I meditate on the end result of His Birth—His Death—Grand Resurrection. Knowing, the twist of the Christmas Story, I can rejoice because I’m the recipient of an unmatched gift.

I hope tonight, the night before Christmas, you’ll have a chance to reread the original Christmas story passed on from generation to generation: Matthew 1-2 and/or Luke 1-2.



Merry CHRISTmas!

As a Christian romance author, I have penned five Christmas novellas, which shows the endless ways why the humility of Christ is the reason for all seasons. Until 2019, be blessed!

  2. As a child, I knew Twas the Night Before Christmas by heart. The whole poem. But I didn't understand the story of Christ too well. I'm so glad things changed. Knowing Him is the greatest gift of all. Merry Christmas!

    1. Amen. I know what you mean. I could recite it too. I'm so glad I know Jesus today.
