The Meaning of Christmas

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. The glory of the Lord shone around them and they were so afraid and the angel said unto them “Fear not for behold I give you tidings of great joy. It shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a savior, Jesus Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign unto you: You shall find a baby wrapped in clothes and lying in a manger.”

And suddenly there is 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”.

Merry Christmas!

Holiday Movies

Can’t get into the holiday spirit? Maybe these five Christmas movies can get you out of your holiday blues.

Home Alone. – Kevin!!!! In Home Alone, 8-year-old Kevin McCallister (Mackauly Culkin) who is accidentally left behind by his family who went to France for a Christmas vacation must defend his home against a pair of bumbling burglars (Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern) known as the Wet Bandits.

Slapstick comedy at its best.

Home Alone 2. – A year after Kevin McCallister was left home alone and had to defeat the Wet Bandits, he accidentally finds himself alone again, in New York. But Kevin is not the only one new in town. The Wet Bandits, now known as the Sticky Bandits, had escaped prison and is out to rob a toy store which Kevin must now defend.

The Santa Clause. - Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) finds himself stepping into the shoes of Santa Claus after putting on jolly old St. Nicholas' suit. Better read the fine print carefully Scott Calvin.

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. In Christmas Vacation, we watch as Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) try so hard to give his family the perfect Christmas. But you know Clark Griswold, the things he does doesn’t usually go as planned. Mix in Uncle Eddie, and you have one interesting holiday.

It’s a Wonderful Life. In It’s a Wonderful Life, a desperate man (played by James Stewart) finds out what the world would have been like if he had never been born. A unique premise. A Christmas classic.
