Dear Members: On behalf of everyone here, I would like to extend our Very Best Wishes & Blessings during this Holy Season. Let us all remind one another that the term "Holiday," means, etymologically, historically, and precisely, "***Holy*** Days." Despite the 20th Century *modernistic* and atheistic New Age corruption of this term, due to many factors, the inalterable fact remains: "Holiday" = "Holy Day and/or Religious Observance Dedicated to God." It does *not* mean secular office parties, an apocryphal Santa Claus whose "image" was popularized by the Coca-Cola Co., which is historically untrue, and has itself corrupted the entire historical ttradition of St. Nicklaus, who was an actual, historically verifiable Christian Bishop, nor does it have any other REAL meanings. It means "HOLY Days," period. And this means that we are to observe these Holy Days under the Total & Complete Sovereignty of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. And that we are ***commanded*** to give our thanks to HIM for the birth of HIS ONLY Son, Jesus the Christ, the *Sole* and *Exclusive* Saviour of ALL sinners, regardless of any previous beliefs, non-beliefs, or any other categories. This is the TRUE meaning of CHRIST's-MASS and "holiday." Going to a "RadioShack," etc, to buy a new router for "Auntie Jane" is totally and inalterably beside the point and is extraneous in the extreme to the TRUE menaing of this time of year. Let us all remember what this time of year TRULY means, and then to, as best we are able to, to extend the Grace & Compassion & Self- Sacrifice of HIS ONLY Son to ALL others. This is our mission. Anyone who states differently is on the wrong path. My Love and Blessings to all in HIS Almighty Name. Your use of Yahoo!
