I do have an important point and will get to it eventually.Recently I was flicking through some television channels when I came across a discussion about should Christians having Christmas trees. It caught my attention. I wondered why shouldn't Christians have Christmas trees. It is a time of celebration. A time to rejoice.

As I sit here typing this post I am listening to old time Christmas music. I can't listen to Christmas music without singing along, moving with the music and feeling a bit

love from everyone.
