AND SO THIS IS CHRISTMAS!
Hello my friends and welcome
to December 25th. Christmas, The
day we observe the birth of Jesus.
Now to be honest Biblical scholars
say it is very unlikely Jesus was born
in December. As a matter of fact, a
few have calculated his birth on
9/11 in the year 3BC. Around the
4th century December 25 became the
popular date to observe Christmas
and that, ironically, stemmed from a
Pegan custom associated with the
winter solstice. The date has seen
some wonderful events. In 1914,
during World War I, British and
German troops actually called a
Christmas truce and played soccer
together! In took until 1831 that the first
few states officially recognized
Christmas as a legal holiday. And in
1818, in a small Austrian village, a
famous Christmas tune was born."
Stiille Nacht." You know it as
"Silent Night!" Merry Christmas to
all and may all your NEWS be good!
