Simon Camilleri reflects on the results of a radio listener vote on favourite Christmas traditions. Rather dismayed by the list, he suggests ways in which the focus of Christmas may become more focussed on Christ.

"Take an inventory of what your Christmas looks like and ask if Jesus is at the centre of it all. If you find that your “Ultimate Christmas Traditions List” is filled with Christ-less activities, then it’s time to restore the balance. Cut some things from the list—not because they are necessarily bad, but in order to make room for more Christ-focused traditions."
