A Maradas Christmas

Of all of the holidays and holiday seasons, Christmas is the most wonderful time of them all. Holiday shopping, gifts under the Christmas tree, gift wrapping and gift giving, are the things that make the Yule tide your very own. It is a celebration of the Christ Child's birth, the first degree of thirty - three for each year that Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, walked this earth. In his thirty - third degree Christ Jesus found ridicule, humilia-tion, embarrassment and death. However, his birth was the spoken word through the Angels on high, which manifested into the flesh. This was truly a joyous occasion, and even though it has been over two - thousand years since that day, we still cel-ebrate his immaculate birthday. Christmas is the time of giving, if you are able to do so. It defines who you are, and every year at the birth of a new Christmas season, you should expect to give and receive without a reason.
