In spite of the increasingly hostile environment by the hyper-sensitive political correctness mob, Christmas is ALIVE and well in America and around the world. Place aside the insanity of not allowing children to eat red and green M&Ms at school. Forget the silliness of removing manger scenes from public places. And disregard the bizarre attitudes of department stores and other merchants that feel it unsafe to wish anyone anything but "Happy Holidays".
Jesus Christ was born over 2000 years ago and fulfilled the prophecies of the Bible. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and died to pay the sins of every one of us. Christmas is a celebration of His birth, the greatest gift EVER given to mankind.
It is my prayer that each and every reader of this blog would know the true joy of Christmas, and know the peace of the Savior to Whom we owe everything.
God bless you and Merry Christmas!
It's Del.icio.us!
Furl It!

Well said Mr. Mayor! Thank you, I like the motto of BRONNER'S CHRISTmas WONDERLAND in Frankenmuth, MI where they say, "Enjoy CHRISTmas, it's HIS birthday, Enjoy life, it's HIS way!" Trust your day was a blessed one!
