My thoughts on Christmas 5 months after being saved

Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas.

We have decided in my family the important thing to remember, and what I emphasize to my kids when so many are celebrating the birth of a baby, is this:
Christ was Lord and King at birth, before having done anything on earth. Luke 2:11

I was also surprised that this Christmas carol, and most that I have heard, are Biblical:
 

Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Glory to the newborn King!

Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace! (Revelation 5:13)
Hail the Son of Righteousness! (2 Peter 1:19; Malachi 4:2)
Light and life to all He brings (John 1:4; 1 John 5:12)
Ris'n with healing in His wings (Malachi 4:2)
Mild He lays His glory by (Hebrews 2:9)
Born that man no more may die (John 3:16; Romans 6:23)
Born to raise the sons of earth (John 6:54, Philippians 3:21)
Born to give them second birth (Titus 3:5, John 1:18)
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!" (Luke 2:11)

Christ by highest heav'n adored (Hebrews 1:5,6)
Christ the everlasting Lord! (Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 1:10,11)
Late in time behold Him come (John 5:40)
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see (Colossians 2:9)
Hail the incarnate Deity (John 5:23)
Pleased as man with man to dwell (John 1:14)
Jesus, our Emmanuel (Matthew 1:23)
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
