(Introductory Note: The word Christ refers to "the Anointed One" or, the Messiah (the "One Who is Sent"). The word "Christmas" is first found in use in the year 1038. It comes from the Old English: Cristes Maesse or, the "Mass of Christ". On this day of the year, Christians all over the world celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Son of God---"the Christ"---fully God and fully man: God in human form.)
Christmas is...
a time to celebrate and commemorate
the birthday of Jesus, the Holy One
who came down to live among us
to give us life and hope.
a time to be merry
festive and jolly
to be well and happy
with our friends and family.
a time to spread the spirit of the season
the joy of caring and giving
loving and sharing
of ourselves for others.
