CHRISTMAS GREETINGS FROM THE FIRST FAMILY

PRESIDENTIAL PRAYER TEAM ^ | 12/19/02 | George W Bush

[ReaganandDubyaForever]

"Christmas is a time of wonder and joy, of generosity and peace that brings family and friends together in celebration and song. We sing old hymns and familiar carols, we show love for others in the giving of gifts, and we observe the hallowed traditions that make the season special.

According to the Gospel of Luke, two thousand years ago, the Savior of mankind came into the world. Christians believe that Jesus' birth was the incarnation of God on earth, opening the door to new hope and eternal life. At Christmastime, Christians celebrate God's love revealed to the world through Christ. And the message of Jesus is one that all Americans can embrace this holiday season -- to love one another. May the glorious light of God's goodness and love shine forth from our land." --George W. Bush

Text of President Bush's Kwanzaa message:

I send greetings to those celebrating Kwanzaa.

Kwanzaa celebrates the traditional African values of unity,
self-determination, collective work and responsibility,
cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. From
December 26th to January 1st, people of African descent
gather to renew their commitment to these seven
principles, known as Nguzo Saba, and give thanks for the
blessings of family, community, and culture. Kwanzaa is
also a time for Africans and African-Americans to honor
their common heritage by participating in events based on
early harvest gatherings called matunda ya kwanza, or first
fruits.

As individuals and families join together during Kwanzaa,
their joy enriches communities in the United States and
across the globe. By uniting people of diverse backgrounds
and beliefs, this holiday promotes mutual understanding
and respect. These universal principles inspire us as we
work together for a future of freedom, hope, and
opportunity for all.

Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a memorable
Kwanzaa, and for peace, happiness, and success in the
coming year.

The Presidents Ramadan Message

[Fzob]

This is clearly unconstitutional. Using taxpayer hard stolen income to pay for a Christmas greeting that magnifies Christ. Where is the ACLU when you need them?

Yes, it sarcasm.

[DrDeb]

Get a life!

[MHGinTN]

Ping ... didn't want you to miss this; just thought you'd like to denegrate this one also.

[Hawkeye's Girl]

What a nice message!

[MJY1288]

Next he will want us to pull his finger

[A Citizen Reporter]

We ought to have pity on Carville, really. You see his wife has been kicked out of the WH now, and he has no other outlet, other than an anonymous screenname on FR.

Bttt

[cajungirl]

Every day in every way, I am glad George and Laura are in the WH. It is wonderful to look at that picture and be reminded or what they are. Merry Christmas!

[MHGinTN]

I echo those sentiments, girl! God gave US another chance. Pray we use it wisely in the coming months. Have a safe Holiday Season.

[cajungirl]

Have a nice Christmas,,as far as I am concerned the best present God ever gave this country was George and Laura. I think they just might help save us from terrible things. Pat
