Understanding Christmas and What We Celebrate

NOPE! This is NOT Jesus...but jolly ol' SAINT NICK!?

As I am involved with the usual "Christmas Cheer" with my little family this weekend, I will not be posting another article until next week. HOWEVER, my friend Amy Proctor has two great articles regarding Christmas that I think everyone will want to read:

Christmas is Better than a Season's Greeting~ Discusses the War on Christmas, the History of Christmas in the United States, and other "holidays" being celebrated concurrently. (She even includes that fake "African" celebration - that no one in Africa has ever heard of).

Saint Nicholas~ Amy sheds some light on this very real person from 4th century Byzantium, who inspired Santa Claus, Kris Kringle and even the Christmas color RED.

For additional and biographical information on Saint Nicholas, check out this article in Wikipedia. Another great read!

Merry Christmas to all of you and yours!
