Keep the Mass in Christmas

For years now we have heard people of faith - particularly the Knights of Columbus - urging us to "Keep Christ in Christmas."  Christmas, after all, means "Christ's Mass," referring specifically to the Mass celebrated in honor of his holy Birth.

Certainly this is a worthy encouragement, but a friend on Facebook today urged something slightly different, but certainly no less important:

This year, keep the Mass in Christmas.

There is simply no better way to Christ in Christmas than to attend the Holy Mass in honor of his Incarnation and to receive his Precious Body and Blood.
