Greetings @hiramdo ,
Thank you for this lovely Christ-mas post....so many splendid things are there...and it sounds as though Christ Jesus is in your Christ-mas celebration.
I shall leave with you treasured verses that speak of Christ-mas for me.
'For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour who is Christ the Lord.' Luke 2.11
'For you see God loved the world so much that He gave His uniquely born Son (Jesus Christ) so that anyone who believes on Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.'
John 3.16
It is faith alone in Christ alone for salvation.
Wishing you and yours a Happy Christ-mas, ^__^
