Christmas is a special time of year. Once again, it is the season of giving and receiving gifts. Homes are all aglow with ribbons, bells, candy canes and wrappings. Ornaments and stars are placed on the Christmas tree. Lately, Christmas has become a commercial season for retailers and businesses. It seems that the reason for Christmas is to sell merchandise instead of commemorating and honoring the birth of Jesus. Let us not forget that Jesus is the Reason for the Season! Love, peace and joy to all mankind. Merry Christmas
