The greatest Christmas message!
« on: December 20, 2008, 05:01:00 PM »
"Is there anyone who uunderstands what Christmas is all about?"
,
"Sure" said Linus...I can tell you what Christmas is all about.

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over thier 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 tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a savior, 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, goodwill toward men."

Merry Christmas Charlie Brown...and all of you!

That's right George!

Merry Christmas to you too Pete, and to everyone else as well!

Hey, can anybody explain to me why the only two words in the english language that are abreviated with an "X" are Christmas and crossing?

Why is it that we only X out the words  Christ  and  Cross ?

Christmas is my favorite time of the year.  People are generally in good cheer, kids are excited and we spend a little extra time being thankful for God's greatest gift to us.  God has given us many gifts: the woods, the meadows, the mountains, sticks and strings . . . but none can compare to the gift of His Son.  Born to die so we may live.  Thank you God, for all Your good and perfect gifts.  From me and my family.

I thought the X in Xmas was for the Greek word meaning Messiah, which starts with an X. Could be wrong, but either way...  Merry Christmas all!

He is Holy and Gracious. Thank you Lord. Thank you for loving us so much you sent your only Son, Christ Jesus, to take on our sins providing reconciliation and a renewing of a relationship with you Lord. The ultimate sacrifice, the giving of the ultimate gift!  

Merry Christmas to all!

X is the first Greek letter in the name "Christ."

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.
