THE REAL CHRISTMAS STORY

Even though people widely accept that Jesus, our Saviour was born on or close to December 25th, this is not really the case. When Jesus was born, it is written there were shepherds tending to their flocks at night. This would have only been done during the Harvest Moon. That would be right around late September. What the significance of December 25th is that it may have been the date Jesus was conceived by God. It would have been right around that time in order for him to be born right at the time of the Harvest Moon, so there is some significance of this date. This is the real miracle, right? Not the virgin birth, but the conception of a virgin. If a virgin is pregnant, she’s going to give birth. The miracle may have happened on December 25th, but Jesus was not born anywhere around that date.  Just one of those things Christians should know.

Many intellectuals claim that Christians stole Christmas from the pagans and took the tradition of decorating the tree from them also. That is only partly correct. The pagans did decorate their winter holiday trees, but they also worshipped them. Christians do not worship the trees they set up and decorate. Christians also give gifts to loved ones traditionally to honor what the three wise men did when they brought the baby Jesus gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Maybe many of them have lost the idea of that, but that’s how the tradition started.

Just thought it would be a good idea to set a couple of things straight as the anniversary of the conception of Christ comes. Merry Christmas everyone, and have a happy New Year. God bless.

'TIS THE SEASON

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, 'tis the season to hear of stories of people and government alike who wish to take the Christ out of Christmas and discard traditional celebrations which have done no one any harm for hundreds of years. The ACLU (Anti-Christian Legislation Union) has gone town to town suing on behalf of nobody to take down all references to Christmas as a religious holiday. Usually it's small towns who can't afford going to court to explain why public displays of Christianity during Christmas season is fine. Since they don't have the money, the small town legislators usually cave in to the ACLU. More attacks on small town America. The ACLU was once an organization that really fought for individual rights. Now their whole existence is based on tearing Christianity from the clutches of America's strong arms. Much alike the NOW and other women's rights groups have evolved over time from being organizations that fought for women's rights to only fighting for abortion rights, the ACLU has evolved into a despicable organization that has become small town America's schoolyard bully. I can just picture an ACLU lawyer on the morning of Black Friday getting his coffee and paper with a huge smile on his face as he kisses his wife. She asks "why such a big smile?" He says "it's Christmas season. It's time to take away a town's right to celebrate it how they see fit. It's going to be a good season this year. I love my job."
 
The ACLU has been silent on Joe "the plumber" Wurzelbacher's case. As everyone knows, Joe asked the Obamessiah a question to which Obama gave the wrong answer to. Helen Jones-Kelley, the head of Ohio Dept. Of Jobs And Family Services looked into Joe's personal information SUPPOSEDLY without consent. She has been suspended with pay. She at first said she only looked at a couple of things of Joe's. The facts proved otherwise. She was obsessed with Joe The Plumber as was the media. Just as scornful as the media, too. Jones-Kelley, a democrat who gave the maximum to Obama's campaign violated Wurzelbacher's rights, but she wasn't the only one in the state of Ohio. Matter of fact, I'm sure we'll never get the full story of how many looked or who was behind it, but you can rest assured you won't hear a peep from the ACLU on this matter. Joe said on "The O'Reilly Factor" that the ACLU has not called him since he's considering on suing Jones-Kelley and the state of Ohio. If he does, he will win. He definitely should. That's outrageous, but what can you expect from those on the left? "We'll fight for individual rights unless you don't agree with our views."
 
I'm waiting in the future for an idiot to propose dumb solutions to the whole "attack on Christmas" problem that they think would make both sides happy. Perhaps someone will propose that they change the spelling of Christmas to "Chrismas". "If you take the 't' out, we can all celebrate the holiday in peace!" I'm sure the secular-progressives would love that idea. People on the fence who don't fight for anything in their lives would probably go along with it. Those damn French-Americans. Yeah, they'd be okay with it. The rest of America would be ticked off, which would be about two-thirds of the population. As the ACLU and the far-left says, the minority rules. They'll also replace nativity scenes with people from all races in peace symbol t-shirts surrounding a baby Obama in the manger. Yeah, the ACLU would go for that. The media will be the ones to propose the idea. The stealing of the baby Obama from a nativity scene would receive the death penalty. Child molestors and murderers don't deserve it, but anyone disparaging the Obamessiah will have it coming. "You stole the baby Obama?! How sick and low can you be?" "Oh, I had sex with this seven year old once too." "Whoa, let's not skate over this stealing the baby Obama thing so quickly!"
