Everyone has different traditions for this time of the year. As I was brought up in a Christian atmosphere, it is my families tradition to attend Christmas Eve candlelight service as we sing our favorite Christmas hymns and recall the main reason for Christmas.

This holiday season, I have chosen ten bible verses that I love and adore. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

1. Luke 2:10-11

I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

2. Luke 2:14

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

3. Psalm 96:11

Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad.

4. Proverbs 17:22

5. Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
