A New Day Is Born. Hope Is Born.
by Ton Pascal
The Christmas we have now has evolved into a multi-religious, multi-cultural holiday celebrated and commercialized throughout the planet.
Local customs introduces its own variation on the subject. From pagan rituals to Christianity tradition it is a day we should celebrate joy.
I feel that we often forget the real message of Christmas: Hope.
This day a child was born in the humblest and most desolate place. Jesus Christ became the inspiration and the guiding light of mankind.
This is a day to celebrate the birth of hope. Hope opens the door to love, to peace, to kindness and clear the path to forgiveness.
Someone I recently discovered and came to admire. Marnie Pehrson, is a prolific inspirational writer and author of the Christmas story Miss Humbug.
And I quote Marnie,
"The way I see it, we have two choices. We can throw away the symbol because it has become corrupt or we can restore it to its former greatness. Some say we should eliminate Christmas because a few might be offended. Others say to abolish it because it has become corrupt. But what if we could restore it? Would any find offense at the original icon? I've never met anyone who's offended by peace, love, unity, and generosity. I'm sure there are some people out there who live in diametric opposition to these principles. But do we want to cater to them as a society? Do we want to foster the antithesis of these principles? I think not.
I hope readers will come away understanding that it's the small and simple things that bring great things to pass. It's not the gizmos and gifts or tinsel and trees that make Christmas so influential. It's those Christ-like values that illuminate a darkening world. We need them now more than ever!" concludes Pehrson.

I wish you all a very, very, Merry Christmas and may you have now all the joy, love, success and wealth you want and God’s blessings.
