Here is my short little Christmas "speech" if you want to call it that :P

Our society has dummed down Christmas by making it all about presents, santa, and traditions. Most people don't realize why we really celebrate Christmas, it isn't for all the presents or fun, it is because JESUS CHRIST was born into the world to die on the cross and save us from our sins! We all can overlook that at times (even us Christians) I admit that I sometimes get invlolved in all the traditions and forget about the real reason for the season.

Let us not forget what this season is all about, remember that the TRUE meaning of the season is JESUS CHRIST!

Two of my favorite Christmas quotes:

'' Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. If we think on these things, there will be born in us a Savior and over us will shine a star sending its gleam of hope to the world. ''

  -Calvin Coolidge 

''The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn’t for any religious reasons. They couldn’t find three wise men. ''

-Jay Leno

God Bless you all!
