It’s not just a “holiday” (as it is now socially correct to say).
We love jolly old Santa, and reminisce with fondness on the ideas fed to us every year in the name of goodwill and love, but which always seem to be driven by economics. Amused by the thought of flying reindeer. Hearts tugged at with sentimentalism. Fantastic sales just to improve your holiday spirit.
Can we with honesty still admit it’s true origin? It takes a great effort to separate the truth from the materialism.
Can you feel the more than 2,000-year-old religious truth without shame or reservation? Is his birth still the core of your true holiday happiness? Will you, like me, tell all your friends and acquaintances where the true meaning lies? And, most important, will you share it with your children?
Christmas has always been about the birth of Jesus. Despite all efforts to the contrary, it will always be about the birth of Jesus.
Merry birth of Christ to all.
