Chuck Missler on the history of Christmas
Chuck Missler did a two part series on the history of Christmas.
I wish you all a Merry Xmas (joking). I wish you all a Merry Christmas and pray that you will have a fruitful New Year in Christ.
The History Of Christmas – Part I
The celebration of Christmas has caused some controversy in recent years, for a variety of reasons. Many have been concerned that Christ is too often left out of Christmas; replaced by trimmings and presents and fudge. Others have battled over whether we should allow manger scenes on public property or allow the school choir to sing Christmas carols that actually contain a message about Jesus Christ. On the other hand, a growing number of Christians have been arguing that we should not celebrate Christmas at all because there is no command to do so in the Bible and because the celebration has pagan roots.
What stand should we take? How should we approach Christmas in the light of history and in the light of the Bible? This week we’ll look at the history of the winter solstice and other pagan celebrations, and continue next week with the Jewish and Christian roots of this beloved holiday.

An I thought I was culturally illiterate!
Here’s a taste, enjoy!
Now I get it. I missed a lot of the culture of the Muffett elite.
Peculiar notion of culture, you have.
The spelling of the Flemish and Dutch sentences are crappy. It’s.. “Zalig kerstfeest en een gelukkig nieuwjaar!”
Anyway, Quviasuvvisiutsiarit ammalu Qitinngumarik at all you Eskimos out there in winter struck America.
You have me the link.
How can you speak that gibberish anyway 
Next week I am sending all this global warming to Kalifornia and Europe.
Go ahead, make my day! I want snow and lots of it! (we’re only going to get mere lows of 30 F here, just how boring is that) I’m sure Minnesota would be more than happy to share some snow with us? No wait, I’m sounding like I’m promoting globalist wealth redistribution now.
I’m going to be a spelling nazi in a minute and let the owner of that site know about the spelling mistakes.
I heard a cold air mass is on its way to Europe. Don’t know if it will get as far East as you and freeze your Brussels spouts off.
Spelling mistake? What do you expect for free on Christmas. Your too front teeth?.
LOL. He can’t touch me. I’m behind a firewall.
Besides, he’s an self-proclaimed polyglot and his website is about languages; he can’t afford spelling mistakes! 
As for the cold air mass, bring it on! It’s been like 45 degrees here and over 40 degrees even at night. I might as well be living in the southern hemisphere. :S
In the meantime, the war on Christmas (or should I say true Christianity in general) continues… http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/3709
