The people of Ukraine include many wonderful elements in their observance of Christmas. Sometimes wisps of hay are placed on the dinner table as a reminder of the Bethlehem manger. Another portion of their celebration echoes the events of the night when the Savior entered the world. A Christmas prayer is offered and then the father in the household offers the greeting, Christ is born! The family then responds, Let us glorify Him!
These words draw my mind to the appearance of the angels in the sky over Bethlehem on the night Christ was born. The angel of the Lord declared, For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:11). The heavenly host responded, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men! (v.14).
Those twin messages give such depth of meaning to this wonderful time of year. The Savior has come bringing forgiveness and hopeand He is deserving of all the worship we can give Him.
May all who know the wonder of His gift of eternal life join with the voices of that angelic host declaring, Glory to God in the highest!
Say it loud, say it proud, MERRY CHRISTMAS. Stop the PC madness! 9 days until we celebrate our Savior’s birth! MATTHEW 10:33 But if anyone denies me here on earth, I will deny that person before my Father in heaven.” Oh Come All Ye Faithful - Celine Dion.

Why do CHRISTIANS still shop insulting ‘happy holiday’ stores? What holiday are they celebrating? Why do they INSULT my intelligence with PC garbage? The REASON FOR THE SEASON IS CHRIST’S BIRTH or there would be no need of happy holiday shopping. IF WE WERE NOT CELEBRATING OUR SAVIOR’S BIRTHDAY!
