And agree. Somehow the origins of Christmas, and its meaning, have gotten lost in the Profit Motive. But some of us remember. Some of us still hold Christmas dear, in our hearts, for what it once meant - when we were kids.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024392628362568010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230387809004080736.post-80423717440536167692009-11-19T06:55:19.321+00:002009-11-19T06:55:19.321+00:00Christmas in it's very essence is a Christian ...Christmas in it's very essence is a Christian holiday. I hate when people try to take Jesus out of it. I always put a picture of the nativity on our card. I have friends that are Jewish. And I hope they send me whatever card they most love.

Kids are included, listened to and prized- people scoop them up and hug them regularly. Pregnant women can go to the head of the (even long) grocery line. Holy Family- no problem- it's what it's all about. Blessed Christmas- of course. Love- you bet.Grandmother Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18169464484379536529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230387809004080736.post-8379492334252250462009-11-18T21:31:52.713+00:002009-11-18T21:31:52.713+00:00I agree 100%!!!!

Family is what christmas is about. Remember that good old christmas story of the boy who sold his precious watch to buy a turtle shell comb for his girlfriend while the girl cut off her lovely locks to buy the watch chain for him?
