Lots of folks know that Constantine (way back in the 300’s AD) made Christianity the State Religion… choosing December 25th as the day to celebrate the birth of Christ in order to pacify the “pagans” in Rome… and use one of their holiday dates…
Doesn’t matter to Philip… I’ve said before that I celebrate His birth every day… one day is like any other day for me.
I do enjoy having a day every year, that we can gather together with family and friends in a true spirit of giving… since that is what God did when Jesus was born… He gave us His Son… His indescribable gift... what a gift that has been for humanity… and Philip in particular….oh my…
Since I am not a “keeper of days”… Ellen and I will actually be celebrating “Christmas” with our kids and grand-kids tomorrow… 🙂
Which will then bring us to the day after Christmas…
