Merry Christmas, and may Sarah somehow find it within her to walk the path she was clearly chosen for.

My family and I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I offer this to all because Christmas is a holiday for all, whether you are a Christian believer or not. The message of Christmas is full of hope, peace, joy, and the fellowship of all mankind; so I find it amazing that every year we hear more accounts of a ramped up “war on Christmas.”
How sad and ironic that a handful of grinches are at war with the annual celebration of the birth of the Prince of Peace, whose coming was prophesied centuries earlier and was then gloriously heralded by the angels with a blessing for “peace on earth” and “good will toward men.” Even if one doesn’t believe the story, can’t one at least recognize the beauty of the message? Or at the very least, let everyone else enjoy the season without throwing a temper tantrum at the sight of a Nativity scene? People who feel affronted by a baby in a humble Manger display or a few Christmas carols have truly lost all sense of proportion and seem to be most in need of some holiday cheer.
At a time when our country is divided on so many things, Christmas unites us. It’s a beautiful part of our culture, and for many of us it’s a beautiful part of our Faith. In fact, for believers it’s “the main thing.” In today’s tumultuous times we can remember the bible’s record of Three Wise Men from the East who received an angelic message of Jesus’ birth. They may have been unsure of the message, so they sought truth. They trekked to Bethlehem to find out more. There, they found Jesus and they honored Him. The story of the wise men reminds us that today wise men still seek Him. So in this season especially, let’s seek truth.
Let’s celebrate with family and friends. Let’s shout a cheery “Merry Christmas” to everyone we meet. Let’s remember our brave men and women in uniform defending us far from home. And let’s all pray for a peaceful New Year.
From our home to yours, Merry Christmas.

I’m not a Christian, but I have found the capacity to forgive Sarah for dashing my hopes. I would think that someone who quotes Scripture could do the same at this time of year.
Please open your heart. Sarah is still one of the best friends our country has.
Same to you, Mesta. You're a freeping treasure to this community, and I mean that.
Merry Christmas Palladin...trusting all In Pa. know the Joy of the Season with their loved ones. .....God Bless.

Merry Christmas to you Windflier....may God reveal Himself to you this season in a way never before...Enjoy your loved ones around the table and let the political conversation roll! :)
Thankfully, the only loved ones who will be around my table this Christmas, are my wife and kids (who are all worthy patriots!)
I left my extended moonbat family back in California when we moved to Texas years ago ;-)
Thank you so much for the Christmas well wishes. Same to you and yours!
Hahahaaha...then you REALLY will have a Peaceful Christmas! LoL...Is it your first Christmas in Texas? BTW What’t the weather there for Holiday. Some are saying chance for snow here in PA. Does it snow in your parts?
Thanks!
Merry Christmas!
No, this will be our seventh Christmas in Texas.
As for the weather, we're in North Texas, so it's usually pretty cold on Christmas day. Sometimes we even get a white Christmas, but yeah, it snows in these parts every year.
