Author's Note: Spreading the Holiday cheer is fun but make sure you are good for Santa and spread the Christmas cheer!
Holidays are the most wonderful times of the year! Their a time where you can spend time with your family and most importantly get away from school! My favorite time of the year is Christmas because it is all about the birth of Jesus Christ and you can listen to Christmas music! I love listening to Mannheim Steamroller and Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They are the best Christmas bands ever! To some people, Christmas is all about opening presents on the morning of Christmas Day. Your heart is pumping with adrenaline and your getting so excited and then its finally here! Getting gifts on Christmas is really exciting but what about the true meaning of Christmas? People who are not Christians don’t know anything about Jesus, the Bible, the story of Jesus’ Birth. All the Non-Christians care about is the presents. When Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ, God really sent Jesus down to the earth so on Easter Jesus would die on the cross and make all of our sins go away.
Christmas is the time when you sit down at the table and have delicious meals that your family brought, exchanging gifts and spending time with the people that you love the most. Christmas is the favorite year of a lot a people in the world. About 2 million out of 6 million people in the world LOVE Christmas. Christmas has been a federal holiday since 1870. Imagine how many Christmas’ we have had. Children get presents every year and imagine how many gifts are sitting in their bedroom or in their house and how much money do you think their parents spend each year? My mom is getting my dad a Nook Color and it was $200! My mom said that this is going to be his one Christmas present. Parents spend and children get so many gifts and spend so much money on Christmas.
What I personally love about Christmas is going to my church and listening to the music when I enter the room. Every year we have a Christmas play put on from the little kids and they are adorable! This year my sister and I are playing a 3 page Christmas song called God Rest Y Merry Gentlemen/ O Come O Come Emanuel. My church takes Christmas very seriously. I love having Christmas at my church because we sing lots and lots of carols and have a great time with our family and friends. Just remember to spread the Christmas cheer and tell the true meaning of Christmas to your friends and family.
Religious Quote: Joseph Ratzinger
A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society, and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society.
Joseph Ratzinger
Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not... with regard to abortion and euthanasia.
Joseph Ratzinger
Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church is often labeled today as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching, look like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards.
Joseph Ratzinger
The wrath of God is a way of saying that I have been living in a way that is contrary to the love that is God. Anyone who begins to live and grow away from God, who lives away from what is good, is turning his life toward wrath.
Joseph Ratzinger
To me, its seems necessary to rediscover - and the energy to do so exists - that even the political and economic spheres need moral responsibility, a responsibility that is born in man's heart and, in the end, has to do with the presence or absence of God.
Joseph Ratzinger
The Cross is the approbation of our existence, not in words, but in an act so completely radical that it caused God to become flesh and pierced this flesh to the quick; that, to God, it was worth the death of his incarnate Son.
Joseph Ratzinger
We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires.
