BURLINGTON, ON
A young Muslim boy we interviewed earlier in the year said his family celebrated some of Christmas.
“We call it the Commercial Christmas” he said. And for many it is a commercial season that draws people to churches Christmas Eve.
There is a reason for the season – we all know what it is.
…and he will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Might God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
There was a float in the Santa Claus parade that shouted it out for me.
For unto us …
We hope it is a Merry Christmas and that you are all with family, loved ones and friends.
” There was a float in the Santa Claus parade that shouted it out for me.”
“For unto us a child is born ….” says it all to many of us Pepper and is the reason we do what we do during the year, not simply at Christmas time. Anne and I are actually on this Christmas float (it was quite a feat getting her up there but she was insistent that she would ride on the float). Thanks for this posting.
