Default Christmas

Christmas in VN was the most depressing day of the year I was there.
The VC and NVA didn't care about Christmas.

But Merry Christmas to you to.

Alan, I'm ashamed to admit that I do not remember Christmas day 1967 but today I realize that on that day someone was watching over me and protecting me so that I might be here today to share in and with His gifts. He is the reason for this season.
When I woke up this morning and went out for my morning talk with Him I thought of all the kids getting up when He turns on the lights and running to the tree to find things that Santa put under the tree and in their stockings, and the laughs and joy that those kids will bring to their family.
Thank you Jesus. You have given us a reason to celebrate. Happy Birthday!
