To quote a non-Christian source..."tradition, tradition, tradition." I won't break into song, but those words do cover this season well.

Many of the things we do at this season are things we have done for years and we may have lost the reasons behind them. Why trees, why green and red, why lights, why angels, why bells, why caroling, why snow, why Santa Claus, why  a manger, why evergreens, why baking, why gifts,...and on and on and on we could go.

Some of these are based on Christian sources and some are not. For a comprehensive look at a few http://www.soon.org.uk/christmas.htm has the real story of the beginnings of the celebration. At the very bottom of the page are links to other helpful things you might need or want to know.

Celebrate the birth of the Christ child or Messiah who came to earth as the on we call Jesus of Nazareth. Go tell, go tell, go tell,...
