Merry Christmas to you and your family as well Doug. It is great to see you back in the writing arena.

It crossed my mind when you brought to our attention the "decline" of Christ acknowledgement within our society due to government rules and maybe even fear of rejection, of not fitting in. I see a different path. Consider Canada's rapid population growth as we accept immigration from countries where worship to others than the One true living God, Christ Jesus can also reduce percentages as more people who worship others become Canadian.

So the numbers or percentages maybe matter less and perhaps what is more significant is decribed in Luke 2:10 - But the angel (of the Lord) said to the (the shepherds), "Do not be afraid. I bring you Good News (the birth of Christ Jesus Savoir of the world) that will cause "great joy" for ALL the people."

The birth of Christ is significant for ALL people and worthy of year round merriment and celebration. We set aside December 25 for a collective gathering where in celebration, a Merry Christmas, a day of, "great joy" celebrating the birth of Christ Jesus, Savoir of the world - or - the world's way.
