Christmas Blog Posts



Jesus is the reason for the season, but we are the reason He came to earth. We celebrate His coming (birth) at Christmas time. But His coming is something we celebrate all year long, so feel free to come back here to read any of my Christmas posts. Merry Christmas to you all!
