Does the irony escape you that the year the Declaration of Independence was signed and celebrated Christmas was not really celebrated in America? It was considered too pagan and too British...and wasn't a federal holiday until 1870 when enough Catholics immigrated to sway the traditions...it was however popular in the slave holding states becoming first legal in Alabama in 1836...
Of course more fictitiousness of writers and movies and advertisers only propped it along...
But in 1776 a surprise attack on those celebrating Christmas by American forces occurred and became a critical victory known as the Delaware crossing. Historians even accept it was German Hessians fighting for the British that introduced the Christmas tree.
No where endorsed in scripture, prohibitions to assimilate pagan customs ignored...it is a blast right?
Beautiful post , right on for the truth.
Man , what a breath of fresh air!
