[Peace-discuss] The Christmas He Dreamed for All of Us

[Phil Stinard]

Heaven forbid that Christmas should have anything to do with Christ!  (I'm 
being sarcastic.)  If you're going to turn a religious holiday into a 
secular holiday, what's the point in having Christmas at all?  That's just a 
rhetorical question, because many of us know what Christmas is really about, 
the birth of our Savior.  Everyone, have a merry Christmas!
