The Bible says that pure religion is "to visit orphans and widows in their distress and keep oneself unstained by the world" (James 1:27). In other words, love and serve the people around you with a pure heart. That is what Christmas is all about. So many Christmas hymns and carols remind us to love others, even as we love God.
