Hello all. Christmas Eve has come and gone and Christmas Day is nearly gone as well but there are 12 days of Christmas so the celebration of the birth of Christ only begins on Christmas eve and lasts until Epiphany when we celebrate the arrival of the Kings or Wise Men. And so, Happy Christmas to you all.

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them "Fear not, for I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:6-14
