During the holiday season, it is easy to get overwhelmed or stressed about finances, buying gifts, having relatives in town, or figuring out how you're going to get everything in your busy schedule accomplished. However, It is important to remember the true meaning of Christmas; that our sinful souls were Saved by God's only son; that our Savior was born on this day to rescue us.

It is a time to remember the blessings God has given to us, and the love He shown, us. It is a time to take a break from the regular routines of our daily lives, and remember and worship Him. What better way to do that than through scripture?

Here are 13 Bible verses that remind us of the true meaning of Christmas:

1. Isaiah 9:6For to us a child is born, to usa son is given; and the government shall beuponhis shoulder, and his name shall be called WonderfulCounselor,Mighty God,EverlastingFather, Prince ofPeace.

4. Matthew 1:21She will bear a son, andyou shall call his name Jesus,for he will save his people from their sins.

5. Romans 6:23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

10. Romans 15:13May the God of hope fill you with alljoy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

13. 1 Timothy 6:17Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
