I’M ON A MISSION TO CANCEL SANTA!

There are children and adults that come from all walks of life who have never heard the story of Jesus birth and the significance of what it means.
Some have been raised in dysfunctional drug infested homes and neighborhoods, some from satanist families, some from other countries where they worshipped voodoo and witchcraft, some have escaped generational child abuse, some have been rescued from child trafficking.
They may be using the internet for the first time and that’s all they see during the month of December is santa claws.
They may haven’t even heard about the miracle gift of Christ Jesus birth.

Well, I’m not going to sit back and say nothing about the birth of Christ while santa’s face is plastered all over Facebook.
That would be like hiding and denying Christ while the rooster crowed 3 times.

We’re supposed to be ambassadors for Christ all year, everyday not excluding December.

So, for me, I will SHOUT it from the roof tops that,
JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN TO BE AN ATONEMENT FOR OUR SINS!
[We’re not sure when, but we’re sure HE was born]

Christmas isn’t about santa!
It’s about JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!

LUKE 2:4-14
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the GLORY OF THE LORD shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to ALL PEOPLE.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is CHRIST THE LORD.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the ANGEL A MULTITUDE OF THE HEAVENLY HOST PRAISING GOD, AND SAYING,
14 GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.

MY SISTER

Her stories, and, the magic and wonder that she created when I was a child.

It was a winter Christmas night in Buffalo New York in 1963.
My oldest sister, Mary was going Christmas shopping and I asked her if I could go because I had never been out after dark, especially at Christmas time.
I was just 7yrs old.
Needless to say, she allowed me to go and I must say; it was one of the most beautiful Christmas experiences that I ever had.

We only lived a few blocks away from the gigantic department stores, one was called Hens and Kelly’s,
I believe that was the name.

It was snowing and as we approached the bright lights of the city, my eyes must have been as big as quarters!
I just couldn’t believe how beautiful and magical everything felt!
There were Christmas lights of every color and size dangling from the street signs, the buildings, and every department store window.
There were decorated Christmas trees, bells ringing, carolers singing, and Christmas music playing in every store.
I just couldn’t believe my eyes!
Then we went into Hen’s-n-Kellys department store and, my sister asked me if I wanted to go see Santa, and of course I did.

I told Santa what I wanted for Christmas and he gave me a hug and a candy cane. It was great!
Then, we were off to the next store.
We passed a police man who was walking the beat, he nodded and said, Merry Christmas!
He was so kind.
Next, we happen to pass another Santa from the salvation army.
He was so happy and jolly and he said,
“Merry Christmas, ho ho ho” as he shook his bell with gladness!
There was so much love in the air.

Then, it occurred to me that, I had just sat on Santa’s lap in the last store.
I mentioned it to my sister and, I told her that it’s impossible to have two Santa’s and now, I’m not sure if I believe in Santa anymore.
She said, “no sweetheart, there’s not two Santa’s but, only one.”
She continued. Do you see those raindeer over there? Well, they fly from store to store so, that Santa can be everywhere and see all the children.
I was like, “wow, really!”
I remember thinking, how amazing that was and, to this day, I believe that was the best Christmas ever!
The Spirit of Christmas was everywhere!
I never told her how much that meant to me as a child.
So, now I want to thank you sister for making my Christmas dreams come true in Buffalo New York, 1963.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
MAY ALL YOUR WISHES AND DREAMS COME TRUE.
JESUS LOVES YOU AND I DO TOO.

Love always,
Sincerely,
your sister, Donna
