Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday and of course Merry Christmas.

Because, many of celebrate this season because of a birthday just over 2000 years ago. So I wanted to share my love of the seasonwith all of you this holiday, and hope your holiday (in whichever way you celebrate it, or what you call it) is happy, love filled and joyous.

I just wanted to share two thoughts with you - First from Ben Stein

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. ....It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year.


And second from Luke (a speech that many know from Linus on the Charlie Brown Christmas special.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them,

Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
