In 1891, electricity was installed in the White House for the first time. For Christmas 1894, President Grover Cleveland had the first Christmas tree with lights on it! The tree was placed in the Oval Room on the Second Floor of the Residence and was decorated with red, white, and blue electric light bulbs.

Cont-....The beauty of Christmas is that it’s the beginning of a story whose ending we already know. Christ took on human form and was born into our world on Christmas Day — and he’ll come back in that very same human form and judge the world in the fullness of time. With that peace and love in our hearts, we can continue to declare the good news of Christmas in the land of the free.

Merry Christmas is everywhere.

Signs on counters.

After a sale.

People on the street.

I haven’t seen it like this since I was a kid in the 70s.

This is great.

Michigan.

How about a manger scene and menorah on the front lawn of the White House? The leftist Christian haters would have their heads exploding!

I saw more people wearing Santa hats in the grocery store today than any other Christmas time I can recall.

I make a point of saying “Merry Christmas” and almost always get a hearty “Merry Christmas” in return.

I’ve been saying “Have a Merry Christmas!” to every cashier I’ve dealt with this holiday season. Most reply with the same.

I've noticed a sizable increase in people saying "Merry Christmas" this year. Chalk it up to the Trump effect.

All it takes to overcome evil is for good people to not be afraid to say Merry Christmas. And Happy Hannukah is just fine too for those inclined.
