There is no Holy Family. Only Jesus is Holy. Her name was Mary and she is as mortal as anyone.

It's not as if the Holy Family is a new concept. Christmas is coming. Peace on earth to men of good will—and let's none of us start getting Kwanza around the edges.

Maybe I'll put a facsimile of that stamp on the Christmas presents I send via FedEx and UPS.

So why do all the stamps this year have "USA Forever" with "Forever" crossed-out?

I was waiting to see if anyone else noticed that before I posed that very same question.

I just went to the USPS website and they have a Christmas stamp that looks like Mary & Joseph with the Baby Jesus riding the donkey with the star from the East in the sky. They always have two Christmas stamps to choose from each year, one religious, and one not religious.

That’s offensive and appears to be child porn. You’ll need to swaddle that baby before mailing.

I seldom read Malkin. However, she is conservative and monitors Twitter comments. She is an American. Shame on you.

Very good. Clearly there’s something special about Mary and Joseph. God chose them to be the earthly parents of His Son.

There is no Holy Family. Only Jesus is Holy. Her name was Mary and she is as mortal as anyone.

Any stamps for non-Catholics?

"Christmas" is a pagan holiday created by the Roman "church"

Jesus(Yah'shua) was born during His feast of Tabernacles.

The birth of Christ on December 25 ?
A clear reading of the Holy Word of G-d would lead to another date.

A date commanded by YHvH with clear Biblical meaning and understanding.

Chanukah is a great time for followers of the Jewish Messiah to celebrate.
The eight day Feast of Chanukah echoes of the eight days of the Feast of Tabernacles
Chanukah was most likely when the "light of the world"
(John 8:12) entered human form and tabernacled among us.

Feast of Tabernacles is the birth day of Yah'shua.

This question is answered when you believe and trust
the Holy Word of Elohim in Luke 1.

Yah'shua's birth on Sukkot
(Sukkot is the Feast of Tabernacles or booths,
where we live in temporary shelters.
Sukkot is when YHvH took on a temporary
garment to be with His People
and to die as the Lamb of G-d on Pesach
in order to bring salvation to all
who would call on His Name:
(Romans 10:13 & Joel 2:32)
Yah'shua ( YHvH is become my salvation)).
Ps. 18:2, 46; 27:1; 35:9; 38:22; 88:1;
118:14; 119:174; 140:7; Isa. 12:2; 56:1;
61:10; Mic. 7:7; Hab. 3:18

Sukkot as the date is supported by Elizabeth's
pregnancy of John the Immerser.
The time sequence is outlined by the
Holy Word of Elohim in Luke 1 with Zacharias.

Zacharias served as a high priest and
based on his tribe, we know when he served
(1 Chronicles 24:7-18) and when he was
struck dumb and when John was conceived.

John would have been born on Pesach.
Most Jews believed that Elijah
would come at Pesach to announce
the coming of the Messiah (Malachi 4:5).

Factor in when Miriam visited her cousin Elizabeth,
Elizabeth was six months pregnant (Luke 1:26)
Thus the timing of Yah'shua's birth can be ascertained.

John (1:14) tells us that Yah'shua was made flesh
and tabernacled among us.

The word "dwelt" in the Koine Greek is:

σκηνόω Strong's G4637 - skēnoō
1) to fix one's tabernacle,
have one's tabernacle,
abide (or live) in a tabernacle (or tent),
tabernacle
2) to dwell

Eight days after the beginning of Sukkot is
another Holy Feast Day called Shemini Atzeret.

Eight days after a Jewish male is born he is circumcised.

After the Eighth day comes the the most Joyous day:
Simchat Torah or
the rejoicing in the Torah (The Word of Elohim).

Nine months back from Sukkot is Chanukah
where the light entered the temple.

Biblical Dates for the Birth of Yochanan the Immerser
and for the Conception and Birth of Yeshua HaMashiach

shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach

Uh, I did. My post 14: There are Christmas stamps, yes. And this is the flier the USPS sent out; I got one in the mail today. So tell me why the USPS has two stamps emblazoned with the words Hanukkah and Kwanzaa while conspicuously omitting a stamp with the name of the only federal holiday in December, which, coincidentally, is the source of a ton of income for the USPS. More income, assuredly, than all other December holidays combined.

Can you supply a reason for the gratuitous nose-thumbing?

the one in the middle is not the Christmas stamp. It is the politically correct holiday stamp.

I’m Dreaming Of A Bright Kwanzaa

I'm dreaming of a bright Kwanzaa
With the seven candles all a-glow
With the flames all flickering
And bright wax dripping
And white lines of coke all in a row
(Let it snow, let it snow!)

I'm dreaming of a bright Kwanzaa
With the seven candles all a-glow
Each one we all know
Is lit for each of the great
Fifty seven states
Where Barack Obama has yet to go

I'm dreaming of a bright Kwanzaa
With every candle lit each night
For a year that's packed full
With solumn meditation
And generous reparations
And lots of fried chicken for me to eat

I'm dreaming of a bright Kwanzaa
So I can watch the candles all a-flame
And the little chi'rens singing
And the government bringing
Free Kwanzaa stuff to my family
And a lot of extra good stuff for me
