Jesus never told us to make a big festival about His birth. The only memorial meal He gave was His last supper with His disciples, telling them to remember Him in this way with simple symbols of bread and wine .However the stories of His birth are part of the canon of scripture, part of the full counsels of God, so we should study them and learn from them. A Christmas with ridiculous piles of food and expensive presents is not the Christmas the christian should have, but a time to gently ponder as Mary did. Here is God come to Earth in human form in order to grow to be the man God who would save all those who put their trust in Him. What a glorious truth.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
