It seems obvious that Paul thought that Caesar was the Anointed One, the Christ, so Merry Christmas is totally appropriate even if I think Caesar was the model, and Paul was the only Galilean teaching the Christian concept of brotherly love back in those days.
We began with a bit of baking a couple days ago and the turkey has arrived today, so we are well on our way to Christmas Dinner.
For the past few years, we have opted NOT to engage in the commercial aspects of Christmas; no gift giving or frenzied running around. We try to have a relaxed, easy time and just concentrate on appreciating each other and being thankful for what we have.
This is a time for a change of pace, to slow down, put your computer to bed for a few days, turn off your phone and reflect on what is good and true and worthy in the world and each other.
That being said, all of us here wish every single one of you a very Merry Christmas, and most of all, a loving time with your families and friends both inside and outside the forum membership!
