Christmas Persuasive Speech
Can there be a more perfect place to be on Christmas Eve than God’s house?

Can there be a more perfect story than the story of the first Christmas?

God entered the world as a tiny babe.

That’s impossible for us to get our minds around yet I can’t imagine any better news in all the world.
The Creator of the universe loved us enough to come into our world,

and he did it not in power, but in the most helpless way possible, that of an infant.

There’s something about a baby or even a young child that brings hope and the spark of life afresh to us.

There’s something about a baby or a young child.

That’s one reason Christmas is so wonderful.
The joy of anticipation and excitement that we see in our children’s eyes.

God entered the world as a babe in a manger.
…show more content…
“God has made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

We celebrate the fact that God became a tiny babe, but we also celebrate that this tiny babe became our Savior.

One of the themes of Christmas in our culture is that it’s the season of misfits;

misfits like “The Littlest Angel” who couldn’t get his halo on properly

or “The Charlie Brown Christmas Special” about that loveable loser, Charlie Brown

And how about Rudolph, the reindeer with the bright shiny nose?

“Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” is said to be the only 20th century addition to the Santa Claus story.

He was first introduced as an advertising gimmick.

However, he has become more famous and loved among children than

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vitzen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.

You know his story:
There once was a reindeer who was teased by other reindeer because of his big bright, red nose,

but he saved Christmas one foggy night when his nose became a beacon that guided Santa’s sled.

Over 70 years ago Montgomery Ward; do you remember them?

gave copies of a poem, Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, to customers for their

    Hey Virginia, there is more than just a Santa Claus. Nowadays, Americans have either forgotten or ignored Christmas traditions put in place over 1500 years ago. They would rather indulge in the gifts and shopping to please their family than sit back and enjoy the holiday. This new mindset has led Christmas, Hanukkah, and other seasonal festivals to lose their religious intent through the past centuries by the hands of both people and markets. The original purpose of Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, has been trampled and overshadowed by a marketeer’s interpretation of how to represent the holiday. Santa and snowmen have become the faces of Christmas, instead of the Son…

    The book was first published in 1843, a time when many of the wealthy people neglected the old Christmas spirit of charity. In addition, the Industrial Revolution had further done away with the simple pleasures of the season. Dickens’ intentions in writing ‘A Christmas Carol’ were not only linked to his childhood and sympathy for the poor, but he was also acting as a philanthropist by making an appeal to the rich people of society to mend their selfish ways.…

    The world is asked to accept the manifestation of God’s love, not in abstract terms, but in the full presence of a man in “our image and likeness,” one who can weep, suffer, bleed and die. This is the mystery that is shown to the world in the revelation of Jesus Christ, and Christmas believe it with awe, love and joy. The child in Mary’s arms is the Lord, the Son of God, and the one who holds the keys of…

    Skewed thoughts of how and why to celebrate Christmas has trampled the faith-based version of the holiday. In movies widely popular in the younger generation, the celebration of Christmas revolves around unrealistic traditions, such as receiving gifts from Santa and his reindeer. Reality, however, differs. Christmas should revolve less around fantasies and materialistic gifts and more toward appreciation, family, and Jesus Christ (the reason for the season). For instance, movies such as “Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer” directed by Larry Roemer and the many sequels of “Santa Claus” directed by John Pasquin have plots about elves and reindeer trying to impress Santa. Adults focus on the legend of Saint Nicholas when teaching their children about Christmas causing them to lose sight of its religious…

    In the novel, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Johnathan Safran Foe, the author uses birds to convey a message about soaring through life effortlessly. Birds are able to fly due to the fact of them having hollow bones, this shows that birds let go of regrets and burdens. When birds let go of burdens they are able to fly high in the sky because nothing is weighing them down. In the novel, it is hard for the characters to let go of the death of Oskar’s father. For example, Oskar cannot move on from his father’s death, Thomas can not move on from Anna’s death and grandma cant move on from her family and Anna’s death. Each bird that appeared in this novel would show one of the characters burdens. An example would be when Oskar turns on Mr.…

    Winston Churchill once said, “Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.” As the big day draws near, it is important to reflect on the roots of the global holiday as well as the direction in which it is heading. Christmas is a tradition rooted deep in the history of western society. It has undergone many changes since it’s earliest celebrations. Even today, the holiday is constantly changing. Each year brings new innovations to Christmas. In the dawn of the holiday, it was minor and focused on the birth of Jesus, the light of the world. In the 19th century, Christmas was a time of family and goodwill to mankind. Today, though there still remains aspects of religion and selflessness, more than ever it has become a holiday consumed by commercialism. It is a development that is not likely to go way any time soon.…
