If we should take away the green trees, Santa Claus and presents, what would people do at Christmas? Or would Christmas be the most boring time of the year?
Without Christmas, there would be no office parties, no traffic jams on interstate highways, no cruises on the seas, and no family vacations at beachfront condos.
There would be no toys for tots, no electronic games for kids of all ages to play throughout the day, no mistletoe to tack above the doors, and no shopping malls wall to wall with people.
There would be no candlelight services in churches on Christmas Eve because there would be no "'twas the night before Christmas and all through the house."
Above all else, there would be no football games and no pumpkin pie at grandma's house on Christmas day.
Oh, my!
What would people do without the adventures of Christmas in their cities, in businesses, in neighborhoods, and in families once a year?
"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
