Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Thanksgiving to Christmas and Beyond

What is your favorite Winter holiday?jh

I like Christmas the best. A postal worker told me this one season, "Jesus is the reason for the season." No matter whether people fight over exactly when the birth of Jesus occurred; it is still the celebration that matters. It is the beginning of a story that has affected the entire earth. Every year it renews itself.

It is a time during the year when there is more peace celebrated, when everyone needs peace. There is always someone around that does not want to celebrate Christmas. I always say that is your choice.

For me even if it just meant a vacation for children at this time of year and gift giving and decorations and seasonal music it is still a great time of year to enjoy a celebration.

I always wonder at Christmas what Jesus's childhood was like. There is only a small amount of information about his youthful years. His ministry on the earth was short. Only a few years packed with information.

Christmas showing up on the heels of Thanksgiving is good as well. It seems to lengthen the party.
