Merry Christmas!

Christmas.  There is so much that can be and has been said about this holiday that I cannot add to it.

It is a wonderful time set aside for celebrating the miraculous birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Those who argue about possible pagan roots for this holiday are merely blowing smoke.  While the exact time of Christ’s birth is unknown, and while there are no commands to celebrate it, there is no reason not to do so, and one date is as good as another.

Let us not just use the day for eating and drinking or giving and receiving gifts or for visiting family and friends.  Let us reflect on this awesome, indescribable gift that God gave us.

And let us accept Him, the Babe in the Manger, Who is also the Lamb of Calvary and the Risen Lord of All.

Merry Christmas!
