Looking forward: At church this Sunday the pastor mentioned something that I have always felt - Christ is the reason for the season. Yes, ok, Hanukkah is around the same time of year, but it's considered a minor holiday. Kind of like how Cinco de Mayo (a small battle fought in Puebla, Mexico) is a minor remembrance as compared to the 16 de Septiembre which is the Mexican Independence Day. But, I digress.
For years, I've always said, "Merry Christmas" in response to someone's holiday greeting. My Christmas cards say, "Merry Christmas" when I can find them with a bear or cow or fancy Christmas tree on them. And, I say, let city halls in communities with a preponderance of Christians be allowed to decorate their grounds with a Nativity scene.

for unto us a child is born, Jesus is indeed the reason for the season!! yet sadly so many people put him on the back burner this time of year. We got the best gift of all, eternal salvation, eternity with Jesus! what can compare to that!!!
We're going to be doing it simply this year with decorations and whatnot, but Jesus will always be on the forefront of our celebrations indeed!
and congrats for 30/30!!!
betty
Christmas is my favorite time of year also and the only one I really decorate for. I love how my house looks and smells, I love the songs. I love how people will actually smile at you.
