It's <br />A made up pagan holiday that Constantine substituted for the Roman Saturnalia?<br />GeorgeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17993318142715559131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024717531907322725.post-8595972368840593642011-12-13T19:52:44.752-08:002011-12-13T19:52:44.752-08:00Thank you for your heartfelt comments.

Like the part about feeding the homeless. My friend asked me a question, "How do you give Jesus a birthday present?" I didn't know. She said when you've done it to the least of these you've done it unto me....That's the heart of Christmas!Karen Anna Vogelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556185760781288692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024717531907322725.post-66510619116623177662011-12-10T19:29:34.561-08:002011-12-10T19:29:34.561-08:00Today we feed 120 homeless people at our Church fa...Today we feed 120 homeless people at our Church family dinner! What a treat to see the joy on their faces when they received a bag of hygiene items and a blanket or tarp. Makes one rethink what the Christmas season is all about...Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363977630280170247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024717531907322725.post-92160211367131310032011-12-09T20:22:17.739-08:002011-12-09T20:22:17.739-08:00Honestly, this sounds perfect to me.

They are living in 4 different states and just getting everyone in the same place at the same time, is very stressful to me. This year we are going for simplicity ~ we will be at home, if they can come thats wonderful, if not we will still have a good time. Our decorations are minimal and lowkey. I'll enjoy reading what others say about a simpler holiday!Greg and Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971301563589708491noreply@blogger.com
