For Christians, giving gifts is a reminder of the gift of the birth of a savior. Here's how some Waukesha residents reflect on the real meaning of Christmas.
With the flurry of presents, cookie baking, parties and time spent with the relatives, it’s easy to forget why we celebrate Christmas. Traditions passed down over the years can sometimes make us forget why Dec. 25 is a special day on the calendar. Christmas used to be a pagan holiday, but Christians turned it into a holiday to celebrate the birth of Christ.

It isn't too late to make a donation that will make this year's end brighter for someone suffering, whether from hunger, poverty, disease or disaster.
In the flurry of holiday shopping and parties, the rush to complete end-of-year business, we are also reminded that this is the season to remember those less fortunate than ourselves. Year-end fundraising appeal letters arrive by mail and e-mail from those to whom we have given before, encouraging renewed giving – a task many people set aside for the week after Christmas, when things have slowed down. Yet there are many for whom the holidays could be considerably brightened by some giving right now – families that might face hunger rather than a feast, children whose stockings could be empty of toys, people whose very lives and livelihoods have been visited by illness or disaster beyond their control. And there is still time. With …

Sing along…..”Silver Bells, Silver Bells, It’s Christmas time in the city” The Waukesha Downtown Business Association uses this famous song title for our season of planned holiday activities in the downtown, to proclaim that it truly is “Christmas time in the city”!

“MainStreet The Shaw” is a lot like Ebenezer Scrooge – a cold-hearted, tight-fisted and greedy person, who despises Christmas and all things which give people happiness. We can only pray for the redemption of “MainStreet TheShaw” by the three Ghosts of Christmas (past, present, and yet to come). Haha! more ›
