“What’s today?” cried Scrooge, calling downward to a boy in Sunday clothes, who perhaps had loitered in to look about him.

“Eh?” returned the boy, with all his might of wonder.

“What’s today, my fine fellow?” said Scrooge.

“Today!” replied the boy. “Why, Christmas Day!”

-Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! And I hope as you tear open all the wonderful packages and boxes you pause and remember The Gift that this day is all about. Although it didn’t come wrapped in brightly colored paper, only in humble swaddling clothes, it did come with a tag that said this: From: God To: Everyone who will recieve it.

“God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him will not die but will have the gift of eternal life.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
