It's almost Christmas.
8 more days to go.
What about Christmas?
What about the name?
Christ-mass.
Sounds Roman Catholic to me.
x-mas, x being an unknown.
But we know Christ, so that doesn't fit.
Seasons greetings, happy holidays, etc., nope, doesn't fit.
Let's stick with Christmas, we're use to it and it has meaning to us.
On this day we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Christ was not his last name, it's his title.
We should actually say Christ Jesus, I think.
Santa Claus is not Jesus although "he knows when you've been good or bad, so be good for goodness sake", sure sounds like Jesus.
And it's just like Jesus to want to give us gifts on his birthday for, "it's better to give than to receive".
So, he was born in Bethelem.
Was it snowing?
I don't think so.
Therefore, Christmas in Florida is more realistic than the rest of you.
Joseph was his father.
Not really, but sort of.
I wonder how he handled things all his days?
I bet God was proud of him.
Mary was his mother.
Jesus is God and Mary was his mother, therefore, Mary was the mother of God.
Don't go there, just accept it.
We 3 kings of Orient are - yes, they had to come visit the child king.
Their generous gifts provided for this young family on their trip to Egypt.
The shepherds.
What ever became of the shepherds?
Were they the first to be born again?
Well, that's the Christmas story.
I hope you like it.
It is the source of some great Christmas carols.
Break out that "Let's go caroling!" book and join in the chorus of many who are rejoicing in the birth of our Lord and Savior.
Amen!
