Merry Christmas

The words Christmas is suppose to mean Christ Day and it is the day Jesus Christ was born. The first week of Advent which is the birth of Christ celebrates 4 Sundays before the event. The first Sunday was November 29,2015 and every Sunday thereafter to the 4th and last Sunday before Jesus's birth.

For children it means toys and other presents and a big holiday dinner. A jolly fat man in a red suit and hat with a sleigh pulled by reindeer that flies from rooftop to rooftop delivering presents by sliding down the chimney into the family room/living room. Pictures and movies always show him nice and clean after coming through a chimney with a big bag to stuff stockings and leave under the tree gifts. I figure he must magically makes himself as tiny as a tack as well as the presents to emerge covered with ashes and soot.

For adults it means cooking Christmas meals,  getting presents together, decorating trees, caroling, listening to christmas music and watching movies, relaxing setting up for guests.

For churches it is getting the word out about Jesus Christ, the reason for the season, decorating trees, caroling, preparing meals and making sure the less fortunate at least get a Christmas meal, putting on
reenactments of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Merry Christmas Housecat, "Everything Happens For A Reason." Merry Christmas to All, and as they say in Hollywood on a successful film shoot, "And cut." "That's a wrap."
