Christmas, The Tradition
by Norman E. Hooben
 |
| Christmas Night 1777 |
For lack of a better description I borrowed the following
line to establish the mindset of an American tradition:
“Most cultures have traditions,
customs and beliefs that have been passed down through the ages and although
some traditions alter slightly to suit modern day living, many stay the same
and are an important link to the past and our ancestors.”
Whether we like it or not, Americans have rooted
themselves in things that without, would have taken us down a different path to
where we would not be today. It’s been
238 years since our Founding Fathers laid down the principles for which we so
proudly prevailed since. Judeo-Christian
principles, whether you like it or not!
Christmas is a Christian tradition and comes from the
words, “Christ and Mass.” Without the
birth of Christ there would be no Christmas…and without Christ there would be
no Christians. So let’s get over the idea
that Christmas is not a part of us.
Christmas has been celebrated each and every year since
the landings at Plymouth and Jamestown…and continues today. It did not attain holiday status until
President Grant signed it into law…and we lived with that until now. Now we have un-Christian-like secular progressives
trying to destroy that which has been a part of us since the beginning. And although I personally celebrate the birth
of Christ at this time of year I have that inbred principle that links me to
our past…Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and you too President Grant, Merry
Christmas!
