I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I urge you to take a minute to look past the commercialism of Christmas. It isn't about presents and it really isn't about family either. It is about the celebration of the birth of the One who voluntarily came to Earth to die so that we could live.
That is what Christmas is all about and no matter how hard some may try to change it, without Christ there is no Christmas.
